There is no definitive transition into the end game. Essentially when most of the pieces are off the board. Rook king pawn vs rook king pawn, queen end games, rook rook king vs rook rook king… an endless list really.
Maybe a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for being in the end game is when you try to promote pawns faster than your opponent. 🤔
Studying end games is what really made me (finally) feel like a chess player. This book changed my entire game and I recommend it strongly for anyone trying to get better.
Cool, thanks for the recommendation! 240 pages doesn't look too intimidating.

Not at all! And it’s written in such a way that you can just go slowly one end game at a time. No need to read the book in a linear fashion either.
