I found this phrase from a short manga strip.

> Man: ミチ子さん その金はもしかして...  
>  Woman: 元々はあなたの金です。どうぞお取りください。  
>  Man: え？
>
> Man: そういうつもりであげた金ではありません！それにこれを取ったらもうおわりってことですよね。  
>  Woman: そうおっしゃらずに。  
>  Man: でもボクまけちゃうんですよ。  
>  Woman: これで終わりにしましょ。

It turns out they are playing Japanese chess.

My question is what does "そういうつもりであげた金ではありません" mean and how to use this
phrase.

Thank you so so much.

What this phrase "そういうつもりで" mean?
> そういうつもりであげた[金]{かね}ではありません！

You'd read the 金 as かね, "money", before you know they're playing 将棋. So you'd
read this line as "I didn't mean that / It was not my intention when I gave
you the money"... probably like 「別れるときに返してもらうつもりであげたお金ではありません。」 or even "I
didn't give you the money for dating me", perhaps..

And you'd interpret:

> それにこれを取ったらもう終わりってことですよね。

implies their relationship will end if he gets the money back.

Aand... it turns out they're playing 将棋. Then you realise that the 金 was きん,
金将 (gold general), and these lines actually meant:

> そういうつもりであげた[金]{きん}ではありません！  
>  それにこれを取ったらもう終わりってことですよね。

"I didn't mean/intend that when I gave you the 金将.  
Also, if I get the 金将 back, the game will be over." (← The man loses the game)
