In the '''Endgame''' chess programs usually have quite a lot of difficulties. Even the most simple endgames often just lead to a mate after 10 to 15 plys or more, which is far beyond the horizon for engines without the specific endgame knowledge. There are some concepts that a chess programmer should implement to overcome the most basic problems. Usually chess engines activate this special Endgame knowledge as soon as the material on board reaches a certain lower-bound.
