English term or phrase: endgame - URGENTE

Eccomi ancora qui con il testo sul conflitto nordirlandese. La frase in questione é: "In any case the major thrust for the Provisionals was always the armed struggle enhanced by political action that would predominate only during an ENDGAME when terms of success would have to be negotiated". Fine delle ostilità o cosa?

fine partita

Explanation:
Ref. Hazon Garzanti.

Here's an English definition:

"endgame also end game

1. The final stage of a chess game after most of the pieces have been removed from the board.
2. The final stage of an extended process or course of events: the diplomatic endgame that led to the treaty."

Ovviamente è la seconda definizione che l\'autore usa qui, ma non so se c\'è un termine preciso in italiano, oppure se dovresti tradurlo come \"fase finale...ecc.\"

Ovviamente non avevo visto le altre risposte, cmq alludevo ovviamente a Samuel Beckett, Endgame, tradotto in italiano come sopra. BYE :-)
