Macro Endgame
    Keywords: EndGame, Go term

The early phase of the endgame when plays are large (oyose). (The term 'macroendgame' is used in The Endgame by Ogawa and Davies, but 'megaendgame' is more accurate since 'o' here is big rather than long.)

It is often a tense time, since individual plays are very big (say in the range 15 - 20 points deiri) while sente / gote relationships can be quite unclear and may depend on serious amounts of reading. Thick plays in the endgame can still work well at this juncture.

Otake Hideo has often shown his great strength by whole-board attacks during this part of the game.

HolIgor: I wonder if the stage of the game where a whole-board attack is possible would not belong to the midgame yet.
