Ending a Game of Chess – How a Chess Game Ends

The most desired outcome and way of ending a game of chess is a chess win. In order to win, a player must capture his opponent's king. He must not only ensure that his opponent's king is threatened (considered to be "in check"), but that all of the spaces that the king could potentially move to, are also all covered. This is considered to be check mate and is a chess win. Your whole game from beginning to middle to end should lead up to a point where you can check mate your opponent's king.

A player can resign at any point in the game. This is most likely to occur if a player loses an important piece and it seems unlikely that he will win the game. A chess stalemate occurs when a player's king is not on a threatened square, but the only move they can make is to a square that is threatened and would result in the king being in check. A chess draw will also end the game and there are a number of situations when this may occur, such as a scenario where the only pieces remaining on the board are unable to result in check mate.

The chess end game is the final stage of the chess game and it is typically characterized by the small number of chess pieces that remain on the chess board. The goals of play during the chess end game are very different to those during the chess middle game. The pawns become more important pieces on the board in the chess endgame with the goal focusing more towards advancing pawns to their eighth rank. There is also a difference in the way that kings are treated in the middle game to the chess endgame. During the middle game, kings must be protected to ensure that they do not become check mated, however during the endgame; kings become more active attacking pieces in the game.

The chess end game analysis is very important for chess play. Much information exists on the ideal way of ending a game of chess and many books will focus specifically on this area of the game. The reason that this is possible is that because there are only a few pieces on the board during the end game, many situations repeat themselves. A chess endgame is typically classified by the types of pieces that remain on the board and the chess end game analysis is explained accordingly. A chess endgame needs to be planned from the beginning of play. Winning the endgame will not occur spontaneously – it requires careful consideration and you need to lead up to it with moves from the beginning of your game.
