The endgame is trivial? “Endgame” in a Korean dictionary has two meanings. The first: “to end (something)”. Second is, “go term: at the end of the game, to place stones to finish off the game”. In go the correct meaning is the second, but this is still insufficient as a definition. In a word, the endgame ends the game. The action on the board is to complete the final boundaries of the territories, for both players.
In go there are three stages: opening, middle, and end. In the opening stage you distribute your stones over the board; in the middle stage you fight. The task in the end stage is to complete your boundaries. If you are beyond the beginner level, you can understand the point of various opening styles, the meaning of fights, and the importance of life-and-death. But overall improvement is hard. When it comes to the endgame, working on small differences between plays can seem less attractive than looking at the other phases of the game. However players generally complain of the number of games they have lost in the endgame. When two players are close in strength, the chances of winning by making the decisive plays in the endgame are quite high. So it is impossible to overstate the importance of the endgame for your own games.
If you are strong in the endgame, you are strong. That is, in practice you will win often. In the first volume of this work close attention is paid to accurate counting of endgame positions, as a foundation. I hope through the study of this book your strength in the endgame will improve.
Health, wealth and happiness to all my readers!

In go there are three stages: opening, middle, and end. In the opening stage you distribute your stones over the board; in the middle stage you fight. The task in the end stage is to complete your boundaries. If you are beyond the beginner level, you can understand the point of various opening styles, the meaning of fights, and the importance of life-and-death. But overall improvement is hard. When it comes to the endgame, working on small differences between plays can seem less attractive than looking at the other phases of the game. However players generally complain of the number of games they have lost in the endgame. When two players are close in strength, the chances of winning by making the decisive plays in the endgame are quite high. So it is impossible to overstate the importance of the endgame for your own games.
In the first volume of this work close attention is paid to accurate counting of endgame positions, as a foundation.
