End = Final part of something. Game = Animals meant for Hunting. The significance here my friend is that Thanos is going to hunt each of the Avengers who survived the snap and it'll finalize the chapter.

Should this be flagged? Pretty sure it violates the Future Works policy, just want to be sure.

"Endgame" isn't a reference to the comics, but to Infinity War. Specifically, Dr. Strange's remark upon surrendering the Time Stone:
We're in the endgame now.
This line - and his parting remark, "This was the only way" - were taken as indications that his actions throughout Infinity War, including surrendering the Time Stone, were all part of a complex long-term gambit to achieve the one timeline where Thanos is defeated. The fact it's now the title of the sequel would appear to confirm that theory.

In chess the endgame is considered a phase of the game where it can be important to sacrifice a powerful piece in order to win the game.
Many see that as an indication that while we might see a victory for our Marvel heroes, they might need to buy that with some true lasting sacrifices, e.g. loss/deaths of characters that won't be undone.
There's also some other associations with a chess endgame:
- It's likely there is some form of "Zugzwang", i.e. one party needs to do a move they'd rather not do. For example they might need to take an enemy piece in order to not loose or move to another position, but that move means defeat in the next round - or at least an even worse situation.
- Pawns become more important, especially if they get through to the other side (turning them into more powerful pieces). This makes moves that sacrifice a powerful piece for a pawn to reach the other side more likely.

Sacrifices in the opening and middle game are also reasonably common, although opening sacrifices are not usually very large. I wouldn't consider this a feature of the endgame. One characteristic of the endgame is that it's part of the game where there's enough pieces off the board so that things become much easier to predict.

@DavidThornley As a non-expert on chess my understanding is that it's more likely sacrificing an important piece is helpful to win and an "okay" tactic whereas initially one would rather sacrifice a less important piece.

@Darkwing in Chess, realistically all pieces except King are sacrificial. Its much more than an "okay" tactic if your opponent bites so hard on taking that sacrifice but leaving King vulnerable to checkmate/stalemate.
