Topic: Endgame


  
 Endgame - encyclopedia article about Endgame.
In chess, the endgame (or end game or ending) refers to the stage of the game when there are few pieces left on the board.
Chess, sometimes also known as international chess, is a board game and mental-skill game for two players.
However, in certain chess variants, such as suicide chess, stalemate is not necessarily a draw, and is deemed a win for either (a) the player with fewer pieces (a draw results if the players have the same number of pieces) or (b) the stalemated player.
