Screen capture of my WqGStep2.exe program
on its way to finding all  2,279,184 solutions
for the N-Queens 15 x 15 puzzle

My WqGStep program solving the 15x15 board
On a modern home PC (in August 2010), this WqGStep2.exe program will take just 1 minute to find all  2,279,184  solutions for the N-Queens 15 x 15 puzzle.  It will find the first possible 15 x 15 solution almost instantly.
This program has not been especially optimised, and I claim no records for speed!
