Summary
The blog post discusses the non-attacking bishops problem in chess, explaining that for an 8x8 board, the maximum number of bishops that can be placed without attacking each other is 14, and for an n × n board, this maximum is given by the formula 2n − 2. The post provides a method to visualize or place the bishops on the board.
