Solution "without proof"?

Why the solution is said to be "without proof"?--Pokipsy76 (talk) 08:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge disscussion

Gomory's theorem is nearly the same thing. Should this be merged? If not, at least links between these articles would be appropriate. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 10:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are not quite the same thing (this article is about nonexistence of solutions on a chessboard with some two particular squares removed, Gomory's theorem is about existence for some other removals) but they are so close that I agree it makes sense to merge them. I have gone ahead and performed the merge. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional removals

The way the article state's Gomory's theorem, it sounds like it allows multiple removals. Gomory's theorem doesn't hold if you do more than one removal. For example, you could isolate a single, white, corner square by removing 2 blacks and 2 whites.--131.122.40.229 (talk) 04:45, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
