Hi,
How does one determine wether the end game was reached?

Generally (although there are exceptions) when the king starts to take
an active role instead of just being defended.

Er, the same way as one determines whether the middlegame has been
reached? What is the context of your question? Are you trying to use
a different evaluation function for the endgame and wanting to know
when to switch to that function?

I have wondered too when the end game starts. Do you have a certain
amount of pieces left ?

`When does the endgame start?' is a question that is almost as useless
as `It this art?'

And the answer is the same: "I don't know - but I can recognize it when
I see it."

Nono, that's the answer to `Is this pornography?'
