LOL. I'm not certain but based on the other threads he has posted i think he is
talking about chess programming, and how a chess program should play differently
in endgames, and what citeria programs used to detect when thye are in the
endgame.. (Eg Some programs turn Null move off,King safety weighting is less
important etc).

Having said this, does Rebel 11 help in this area?
