%N Eight white queens and one red queen on a 3 X 3 chessboard. G.f.: (1 + x)/(1 - 5*x - 5*x^2).

%C The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in the corner and side squares (m = 1, 3, 7, 9; 2, 4, 6, 8) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a white queen on the eight side and corner squares but on the central square the queen explodes with fury and turns into a red queen, see A180032.

%C The sequence above corresponds to 56 red queen vectors, i.e., A[5] vector, with decimal values between 47 and 488. The central squares lead for these vectors to A057088.

%C Inverse binomial transform of A004187 (without the leading 0).

%C Equals the INVERT transform of A086347 and the INVERTi transform of A180167. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Aug 14 2010
