I do not think that Junior's srtrong point is the endgame.

When I look in the ssdf games I see that the reason that Junior is leading
7.5:2.5 and not 10:0 is the fact that Junior is not strong in the endgame.

Rebel10 is also not strong in the endgame.

It missed a simple draw against Fritz5 by 53...Rxa6 instead of 53...Ne7 that
Junior could find(not with the right evaluation)
I think that after 53...Rxa6 54.Rxc8 Ra1 Fritz5 cannot win the KRBP vs KRPP

53...Na7(Fritz5's idea) 54.Bxa7 Rxa6 55.Bb8 Ra1 the black king is cut off and
white can win by Rd2 and black cannot exchange the pawn b6
