Apparently it has something to do with chess, but I can't seem to figure it
out yet.
Is that like what happens at move 20?

I believe the endgame is the stage of the game where most of the pieces
have been liquidated off of the board. When I say pieces, pawns dont
count. So if each side still has all of their pawns and only a couple
minor pieces, i'd still consider that the endgame.

You mean people keep playing with all that material gone?
(note: I peaked at USCF 2000 and was being sarcastic)

The endgame is the last stage of the game, where there are usually only
one of two pairs of pieces on the board. It usually occurs after move
50, and not all games reach the endgame. In endgames, strategy and
tempo become paramount, and every piece must pull its weight.

PMFJI,
I'm new to the group.
I think endgame = death.
(Refer to the play by Samuel Beckett.)
