Is it possible to tile a mutilated chess board with dominoes?
Solution. The puzzle is impossible to complete. A domino placed on the chessboard will always cover one white square and one black square. If the two white corners are removed from the board then 30 white squares and 32 black squares remain to be covered by dominoes, so this is impossible.
Can you tile an 8 8 chessboard with 31 dominos if opposite corners are removed?
The answers. 1) The board missing two opposite corners cannot be covered with 31 dominoes. Each domino will always cover two adjacent squares of the chessboard. Imagine it is possible to cover the mutilated board.
Can an 8×8 chessboard with an odd number of squares removed be tiled with 2×1 dominos?
No, it’s not possible. Two diagonally opposite squares on a chess board are of the same color. Therefore, when these are removed, the number of squares of one color exceeds by 2 the number of squares of another color. However, every piece of domino covers exactly two squares and these are of different colors.
Can an 8×8 chessboard with an even number of squares removed be tiled with 2×1 dominos if an equal number of black and white squares are removed Why or why not?
This puzzle is known as the mutilated chessboard problem. The other answer correctly explains that such a covering is impossible because it would require an equal number of black and white squares (since each domino must cover one black and one white square), which the corner-cut board does not have.
Can you cover a 8 8 chessboard with the two opposite corner tiles removed entirely with dominoes no gaps or overlaps )?
How many squares can be formed in a chess board?
204 squares
Therefore, we have in all = 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 204 squares in a chessboard.
Is it OK to play chess with multiple chess board configurations?

Are chess squares Black and white?
Chess pieces are referred to as black and white. Chess squares, however, are not black and white. They are dark and light. There are 32 light squares on a chess board. Some sets use white as the light colour, but not all of them. There are still players and manuals that refer to squares by colour instead of light/dark, and that’s fine.
