<upd_detl>not sure if its actually used outside go and shogi (for example in chess) and I think the tags are definitely necessary.
Also it doesn't simply mean endgame, that would be 終盤. it's more specific (and the 国語辞典 aren't much better in capturing that). English go players (like Japanese alike) use yose for common moves you play at the very end like closing of a corner or playing a hane at the edge of the board in double sente etc. endgame on the other hand refers to the entire end stage of the game not just the yose. From Sensei's library (which I as a go player can confirm is true):
"Yose, a Japanese go term adopted into English, are moves that approach fairly stable territory, typically enlarging one's own territory while reducing the opponent's. Such plays are usually not as large as opening plays or middlegame plays affecting the life and death of large groups, so they typically occur in the endgame. However, they may occur at any stage. "
The japanese sources I linked to also confirm this.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>The shogi meaning needs to be sepereate as there is no territory in shogi as I just realized. I am not familiar enough with shougi to do that but I would be glad if someone could handle that. (the core meaning is the same in go and shogi judging by the dictionary but the explanation I gave only makes sense for go, else just get rid of the explanation and leave it as "yose". I am also not a fan of making a generic "endgame" explanation because endgame and yose are not the same</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It does sadly not apply to both games. Yose is not the same as endgame, yose can happen in the early or middle game as well in go (it's just usually that yose moves happen at the end, but it doesn't have to). I really think the definitions should be seperated because as it stands now it's borderline incorrect for go.</upd_detl>
