I've never played an endgame.

I guess at my level someone always blunders into checkmate first. I'm wondering what level you have to get to before endgames start happening.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach based and chess book author based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com
Endgames can happen at any level. Regardless, I'll give you two tips on how to play the endgame in case you get there:
1) Get your king into the action. Yes, the king is a fighting piece.
2) Rook like to be behind pawns.
I hope that this helps!

To get to the end game, you get past the middle game. Endgame is when king and remaining pawns are necessary to activate because the 1 or 2 pieces that remain can't easily force a mate on their own. If you win any games....you can reach endgame. Once you get a piece advantage......trade pieces for equal pieces. Even with a 1 pawn advantage.....if you can trade away pieces, that advantage can be winning difference in well played endgame. With every piece off the board, an advantage ......positional, or material......grows.
