Question 17
A chess king is said to *attack* all the squares one step away from it, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For instance, a king on the center square of a $3 \times 3$ grid attacks all $8$ other squares, as shown below. Suppose a white king and a black king are placed on different squares of a $3 \times 3$ grid so that they do not attack each other. In how many ways can this be done?
