To count the number of maximum independent arrangements of $n^2$ kings on a $2n\times 2n$ chessboard, we build a $2^n \times (n+1)$ matrix whose entries are independent arrangements of $n$ kings on $2\times 2n$ rectangles. Utilizing upper and lower bound functions dependent of the entries of the matrix, we recursively construct independent solutions, and provide a straight-forward formula and algorithm.
