Why would they call it 'chess endgame' if it didn't talk about chess endgame???

"My favorite school subject would be charms or DADA. But if you mean with my books, I really like books about healing." Which was why he had three. He had a bit of a healing obsession, and really wanted to become a healer one day. The graphic novels and the fiction were for fun (and to learn things about the world), the nonfiction book was about muggle medicine, and the textbook was required (but useful). "I'm going to be a healer. Although I also hope to improve at chess." He smiled a little. Chess was fun. However, he didn't really want to read a book on it unless he was told to.

"I think it doesn't pertain to the actual, literal chess endgame... but how to get to the endgame through other means..." Mackenzie's tone drifted off as his brows furrowed reading some of the text. "Interesting..." he whispered, then continued to gloss over the pages-- not wanting to spoil the rest of the book's content.

Charms, and DADA. That's good. "Both are very practical subjects. It's worth mastering," he said putting down the chess book finally, wondering if he should go and get it. "Healer? Hmm-- then you should be able to like Potions as well...and I reckon Herbology." yes, he'd gone through the possible careers for him already during his fourth year, but being a Healer didn't really appeal to him. It was tedious, he thought. "Chess should be able to help," he exhaled and sat back in his very comfy chair, wondering about the next tournament that was going to happen in a few weeks. "I mean it's great to keep your analytical brain functioning, even if it's a simple board game."
