The endgame (or in Japanese Shuban [1]) is the final stage of the game when the status of all big groups is already determined and the remaining moves aim at expansion of own territory and reduction of the territory of the opponent.
The endgame is all about Sente and Gote relationships, calculating or estimating the count, and then putting everything together into the right sequence. Practice is the best teacher.
