Yose
   

Yose, from the Japanese, are moves that approach fairly stable territory, typically enlarging one's own territory while reducing the opponent's. Such plays are usually not very big, and occur in the endgame. However, they may occur at any stage. A large yose may even occur in the opening stage. Contrast this with small yose?, occurring late in the game and typified by moves on the first and second lines.

Because the typical yose occurs in the endgame, both in Japan and the West yose is a synonym for endgame.

In Japanese, the term can be verbalized to indicate the process of playing yose, in the form yoseru.
