===The end of the game===
=== Chess endgame ===
Chess.com states:
{{Cquote|The endgame in chess is the phase of the game that occurs after most of the pieces have been exchanged—the stage of the game that happens at the end. Not every game of chess reaches the endgame, as some games are decided in the middlegame (or even by early checkmates in the opening). However, most games do reach the endgame stage.
In general, endgames have different strategic goals than other phases. One main goal in the opening is to develop your pieces, while in the middlegame your goal could be to attack an enemy king or to protect your own king—but in the endgame, one of the main goals is to try and promote a pawn.<ref>[https://www.chess.com/terms/chess-endgame Chess endgame]/ref>}}
