total eclipse

Hi. This here is an interesting bullet game where white creates fine attack. I was looking at the situation after  15...Rxf2, and i was not able to find what could black do, to avoid solid material loss or mate. Maybe someone can? I have used Maya pieces style, trying to calm Mayas Gods :)

sorry.

I don't think this qualifies as an endgame.

i think 4-5 moves before end could be called endgame.

But now I'm only falling apart,
There's nothing I can do,

goxie,

I think I see the misunderstanding. Techically you can checkmate on move #2, but that does not mean the starting position is an endgame.

From wikipedia: "In chess and chess-like games, the endgame (or end game or ending) is the stage of the game when there are few pieces left on the board."

This game is still solidly in the middlegame.

i am sorry Eric, but i thought that endgame could be understant like the "end" of a "game".  just kidding. thanks for reading post
