    actually, it's because the board is magical and rejects all matter put onto it unless they are chess pieces.

    I don't quite comprehend, PG...shouldn't there be 64 squares, not 62 (because 8x8=64)?

    The answer is 0 because there is no more chessboard to place the dominoes on. A chessboard is always 8x8. This mutilated piece of wood doesn't match that. If the puzzle said 'How many ways can you place the 31 dominoes on what's left of the board.' then that would be a different story.

    *is probably thinking WAAAY too logically*

    Ok, this is gonna be crappiest explanation ever since I'm in hurry to sleep.

    I just stared at the chessboard and if you cut pieces from those corners, it'll make two 8 squares lines just 7 squares lines and you need AT LEAST 8 squares per line if you wanna place 4 dominoes on that line ( I assume they won't need to be on upright position since there would be plenty of space otherwise). So, if there's just 7 squares on one line, you can only place 3 dominoes on those line and there will be uneven squares on both ends unused. If you just look at the chessboard, you can see that those sawed off boards makes their former "side-squares" uneven and there has to be even amount for each line if you wanna place there dominoes so that every single square wuill be filled and even if ONE square will be unfilled, the answer will be zero in this puzzle. So, there's only space for...29 <s>squares</s> DOMINOES?

    edit: silly typos of tiredness

    So to summarize what Mik said: There's just no way you can fit them on the board due to its shape.
    I'm over there! *points* See?
