In chess, an "Endgame" refers to the final phase of a game when there are fewer pieces left on the board. This stage focuses on promoting pawns to queens and checkmating the opponent's king. Players must use strategic thinking to maximize their remaining pieces' potential and control the board. The term "Finale" can also apply to various contexts, such as the concluding part of a performance or event. In literature and film, a finale wraps up the story, resolving conflicts and providing closure. Both chess endgames and finales emphasize strategy and resolution in their respective fields.
