    No matter how it is arranged dominoes always covers 1 black and 1 white square. The checkerboard, after removing 2 squares, has 32 black squares and 30
    white squares. Therefore, it is impossible to cover the check board.

    Absolutely correct, and brilliantly explained! Kudos! Bravo! (^_^)
    And even applies if the corners removed are both black, as well!
