FUCK JAVA

public class Player extends Piece { ... }
/* ... */
public static Piece inputPiece() { ... }
/* ... */

Player playa = inputPiece();
ChumpyProgram.java:43: incompatible types
found   : Piece
required: Player

So what the fuck is the point of inheritance if you can't do that?

Actually, screw me.  I type too quickly when I'm in a rush.
Why are you doing that? what makes you think that would even work?

That's not how inheritance works and you're just being dumber than the Java compiler out of spite.
