My favorite endgames are in Arimaa[0], an abstract strategy game that can be played on a chess board. The goal is to advance a pawn-equivalent piece to the back rank. This becomes easier for both players as the game progresses and pieces are captured. Arimaa endgames are generally "sharp" in the chess sense (as in requiring extreme tactical precision because each move is so impactful), and don't involve any chasing. Surprising comebacks for players with lesser material are possible. However, the opening can be very slow if both players play defensively.
