Endgame theory

Endgame theory refers to the strategic approach used to analyze the final phase of a game or situation, often leading to a decisive conclusion. In chess, for example, it involves the remaining pieces on the board and calculating optimal moves to secure victory. In broader contexts, like business or negotiations, endgame theory examines how parties can best position themselves for ultimate success as they approach resolution. It emphasizes planning for outcomes and recognizing the importance of the final moves or decisions that can greatly influence the overall result.
