Final stage of chess (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endgame

(Other definitions for endgame that I've seen before include "contest's final stage" , "closing stage" , "Denouement (chess)" , "Final stage in a contest" , "when there are few men left" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
