Алгоритм восьми ферзей

Ранее я задавал вопрос о решении проблемы восьми ферзей с помощью Java. У меня есть алгоритм обратного отслеживания для решения проблемы.

Я пытался использовать этот алгоритм, но не знаю, что не так с моим кодом. Он размещает только до 7 ферзей.

Вот класс королевы:

    public class Queen {
    //Number of rows or columns
    public static final int BOARD_SIZE = 8;

    boolean[][] board;
    //Indicate an empty square
    public static final boolean EMPTY = false;
    //Indicate a square which containing a queen
    public static final boolean QUEEN = true;
    //Number of moves
    public static final int MOVES = 4;
    //Horizontal moves
    int[] horizontal;
    //Vertical moves
    int[] vertical;

    public int queens = 0;

    public Queen() {
        //Constructor creates an empty board
        board = new boolean[BOARD_SIZE][BOARD_SIZE];
        for (int row = 0; row < board.length; row++) {
            for (int col = 0; col < board[row].length; col++) {
                board[row][col] = EMPTY;
            }
        }

        horizontal = new int[MOVES];
        vertical = new int[MOVES];
        // up right
        horizontal[0] = -1;
        vertical[0] = 1; 
        // down left
        horizontal[1] = 1;
        vertical[1] = -1;
        // up left
        horizontal[2] = -1;
        vertical[2] = -1;
        // down right
        horizontal[3] = 1;
        vertical[3] = 1;
    }

    public boolean placeQueens (int column) {
        if (column > BOARD_SIZE) {
            return true;
        }
        else {
            boolean queenPlaced = false;
            int row = 1;

            while (!queenPlaced && row < BOARD_SIZE) {
                if (isUnderAttack(row, column)) {
                    ++row;
                }// end if
                else{
                    setQueen(row, column);
                    queenPlaced = placeQueens(column + 1);
                    if (!queenPlaced) {
                        removeQueen(row,column);
                        ++row;
                    }// end if
                }// end else
            }// end while
            return queenPlaced;
        }// end else
    }

    private void removeQueen(int row, int column) {
        board[row][column] = EMPTY;
        System.out.printf("queen REMOVED from [%d][%d]\n", row, column);
    --queens;
    }

    private void setQueen(int row, int column) {

        System.out.printf("queen PLACED in [%d][%d]\n", row, column);
        ++queens;
    }

    public boolean isUnderAttack(int row, int col) {
        boolean condition = false;
        // check row
        for (int column = 0; column < BOARD_SIZE; column++) {
            if ((board[row][column] == true)) {
                condition = true;
            }
        }

        for (int row_ = 0; row_ < board.length; row_++) {

            }
        }

        for (int row_ = row, col_ = col; row_ >= 0 && col_ < 8; row_ += horizontal[0], col_ += vertical[0]) {

                condition = true;
            }
        }

        return condition;
    }

    public void displayBoard () {
        int counter = 0;
