I have a 8x8 chessboard, that I can fill with dominos. But I need to prove that if I remove 2 white squares and 2 black squares, I'll be not capable of filling it with dominoes.

Actually, you can cover the chessbord then with domino pieces, with one obvious exception: when a corner of the board was not removed, but its two closest neighbours were removed. This was proved by Colin Wright.
