Problem Statement

The XX{} pentomino consists of five 1×11\times1 squares where four squares are all adjacent to the fifth one. Is it possible to cut nine such pentominoes from an 8×88\times 8 chessboard, not necessarily cutting along grid lines? (The picture shows how to cut three such XX{} pentominoes.)
