>>>Take a chessboard, and remove two diagonally-opposite squares (for instance, remove the upper-right and the lower-left corner). This leaves 62 squares total. Can you cover these squares with 31 domino pieces? Each domino covers two adjacent squares.

>Well, I am a chess enthusiast myself, but I also enjoy "alternative" chess - at least in theory, I didn't play much in practice. Examples of alternatives include hexagonal chess, 3-D chess (this turns out to be too confusing), cylindrical chess (normal chessboard, but pieces can go "over the edge" to the other side), and many more.

The only alternative chess I've played is where two-player teams play regular chess side by side, and the pieces captured by one teammate are put at the other teammate's game for his disposal.
The name escapes me, but it's sort of fun.
