Looking for an alternative solution for the mutilated chessboard problem

440 Views Asked by At

Given a mutilated chessboard where two diagonally opposite squares are missing (the unmutilated version of it has $64$ squares), and given $31$ domino pieces, is it possible to cover the entire chessboard with the dominoes?

This is a classic problem and has a very popular solution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutilated_chessboard_problem#Solution.

Is there any other solution to this problem?
