There is a new menu "Endgames" under the Games option in the database window.

 

This adds an endgame classification to the games in a database.

 

The endgame key can be found in the folder "Documents\ChessBase\Key".

 

The classification is not entered in the key, but in the game itself. There is a new column "Endgame", in which the longest endgame in the list can be seen, for instance RB-RN. This column can also be sorted.

 

The classification is used in the openings overview and in the player report. There is a new item called "Endgames":

 

The most common endgames in the list of games is displayed, as well as the deviation as a percentage from the games in the reference database.

 

Apart from this the deviation from the lengths of the endgames in the reference database is displayed.

 

RB-RN (+8.9) means that the endgame RB-RN occurs about 9% more often than in the complete database.

 

This is an indication of factors such as a certain opening position leading to a particular endgame, or a player preferring a particular endgame.
