You remove two diagonally opposite corner squares from an 8×8 chessboard. Can the remaining 62 squares be covered exactly by 31 dominoes, each covering two adjacent squares?

No. Opposite corners have the same color. 

Removing both corners leave 30 squares of one color and 32 of the other, but every domino must cover one square of each color.
