%N Number of ways to attack all squares on an n X n chessboard using the smallest possible number of queens with each queen attacking at least one other.

%C Differs from A002564 and A002568 in that each queen is attacking at least one other queen.

%C M. A. Sainte-Laguë paper has "a(6)=900?".

%C In other words, the number of minimum total dominating sets in the n X n queen graph. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, Apr 19 2018
