Stock Puzzle based on the rules of chess. A grid representing a subsection of a chessboard is shown, and the puzzle solver must place a certain number of queens on it so that none of them threatens the others: that is, none can share a rank, file, or diagonal. The standard puzzle is "Place N queens on an NxN board," with a value of N between four and the standard eight of a full board. The puzzle can't be solved for N = 2 or 3.
That Other Wiki has more.
Sub-Trope of Grid Puzzle, the general trope for puzzles solved by arranging the elements of a grid. Compare Magic Square Puzzle (a square array of integers that sum the same in each row, column, and main diagonal).

Professor Layton and the Curious Village: The puzzles given by the chess player in the tavern are N=4 and N=5, and one of the bonus puzzles is a full 8. The hints for the bonus puzzle tell you to not bother buying more hints, as you should know how to do it by that point.

Safe Cracker: The N=6 version appears on one of the safes in the attic. Slightly easier than most examples because every square follows a pattern, as your character is quick to point out.

"The Most Precious of Treasures": A room-sized version of this puzzle appears. The protagonists must solve it to enter the next room of the dungeon; however, it's not intended to be difficult. It's really a test of sentience, not intelligence.
