Don't you mean 'It was my last'.

That game was my last. In the future I will realize it was my last, at the moment, I predict it shall be.

What didn't you like? I think it's an incredibly beautiful game, but it's hard to see that after one game.

^^^^^^

I don't know the rules, just started playing and it looked like any other game, my opponent starts bringing his captured pieces BACK out and mates me quickly.

I played over your game. You never used any of your drop pieces sad.png

 

At the end, your opponent played 19...gxf1=Q?? When he should have played gxf1=N+!  Check, so that he checkmates you on g2 as he did in the game.

 

He promoted to a queen instead of a knight. This allowed you a chance to begin a deadly counterattack!  20. P@d7+ Kxd7 21. N@e5 and black's king has to run out - if it goes back to e8, you drop a pawn on d7 and mate him!

Ah, I see, that's why you didn't drop any pieces.  Yeah, basically, any piece you capture of your opponents goes into your hand.

 

When it's your turn, you can either play a normal chess move, or drop one of the pieces in your hand!

I get to use HIS pieces that I have captured?!? Now I see where it gets the name. That is an craziest thing.
