Chess Problem on Rook Placement

626 Views Asked by At

How many ways are there to put two black rooks on a 8x8 chessboard so that they don't attack each other? There are several ways that these two could be placed, and I am wondering how many amount of positions there are. Thank you for any contribution.

Hint: If you place one rook how many squares are now not available to the second rook, because placing it there would attack the first rook?
