Place 2 queens, 2 white bishops and 2 black bishops on this chessboard so that every square is under attack.

One white king has already been placed (as shown in the above diagram.)

(In reply to Why the 'white' king? by brianjn)

There is a flaw in what I presented:
"all unoccupied squares are not threatened."

The Queen in the 5th column does not command all squares in that column; all unoccupied squares in that column are threatened expect the 8th row, a bishop blocks the Queen's authority!
