In 2004, the Chess Variant Pages held a contest on the Nine Queens Problem, which asked readers to place nine queens -- and a pawn -- on a standard chessboard so that no two queens could attack each other.
The "Queens and Pawns" ZRF file contains that problem (The file calls it the "Eight Plus One Queens Problem" to avoid confusion with the problem of putting nine queens on a 9 by 9 chessboard) as well as similar problems on different-sized boards.
