| | Endgame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | The line between middlegame and endgame is often not clear, and may occur gradually or with the quick exchange of a few pairs of pieces. | | | A king and pawn endgame with an outside passed pawn should be a far easier win than a middlegame a rook ahead. |

| | Endgame study - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some argue that White must only have only one move at each juncture to achieve one's aim, though some feel that minor alternatives (such as a choice of moving a knight b1-c3-b5 or b1-a3-b5; see algebraic notation for an explanation of this notation) are permissible. | | | Indeed, it will not be obvious to many players that the position at the end of the given line is a draw at all. | | | Most composers, including Troitzky, Rinck and other famous figures such as Genrikh Kasparyan, are known primarily for their studies, being little known as players. |

| | Endgame studies have always terrified me. This is because I may be among the world’s worst endgame players and I have the game scores to prove it. | | | My inability to play endgames has had me hopelessly mired as a low ranking “A” player for years and the situation hasn’t improved much, despite having two bookshelves lined with books on how to play the endings. | | | With such a complex subject matter, it would be easy to leave most players below the master level scratching their heads, but Nunn’s analysis and detailed explanations make this a highly readable and understandable book. |

| | Endgame studies, which typically feature just a handful of pieces, usually look very much like they might have been taken from an actual game. | | | That is the beauty of a good endgame study - but don't expect to do much more than to scratch the surface if you have spent less than half an hour on each diagram. | | | In an over-the-board game, the ability to use the pieces in harmony is paramount, and those players who can exploit every resource in a position are those who become champions. |

| | Chess with Chinese Pieces |
| | The usual specification for an endgame study is for white to win or draw, but not in a fixed number of moves. | | | If a C-V-L captures a piece, it will not be able to return to the square it left on the next move unless an opposing piece immediately moves to that square. | | | Thus to win means White obtains a clear material advantage, perhaps checkmates in some lines, or arrives at a position known in the literature to be a win. |

| | Stalemate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | There have also been attempts at constructing the shortest possible game to end in stalemate: Sam Loyd devised a game which ended in stalemate after just ten moves (1.e3 a5 2.Qh5 Ra6 3.Qxa5 h5 4.Qxc7 Rah6 5.h4 f6 6.Qxd7+ Kf7 7.Qxb7 Qd3 8.Qxb8 Qh7 9.Qxc8 Kg6 10.Qe6). | | | In endgame studies, the idea of stalemate very frequently occurs, and in chess problems there is sometimes a stipulation for "white to move and stalemate black in n moves" (rather than the more common "white to move and checkmate black in n moves"). | | | There are many examples of draws being saved in this way. |
