I am currently writing a new chess program and need to detect what part of the game its in - opening, midgame or endgame. This would be handy for example time spent searching for passed pawns isnt wasted in the opening. Also moves can be scored differently throughout the game. I have read that the midgame begins when your rooks can touch, when theres no pieces between them, or your opponents rooks. Also the endgame begins when you have six or less pieces. Are these accurate assumptions? Is there a better way of detecting game status?
