I know there are lots of good sites for openings and tactics but what are some sites for endgames.

A site where I could look up how best to handle
Piece A + Piece B vs. Piece C

Hmmm if there is I'd like to know...I'll stick with TSC because it has everything from opening, a lot of middle games, and some endgames

No, don't think so.

I don't plan on using it during matches.

I want a site I can use to study endgames.

That way when a situation arises I can finish the game in the least amount of moves possible/avoid stalemates.

You are wrong. Endgame tablebases are computer generated and not allowed.

As far as I know the only databases dedicated to the endgame are Endgame Tablebases (EGTB). However, any database of complete games will contain games which have endgames. They tend to be more useful for openings as you are guarenteed that at least the starting position is going to be in the database, although you may get games with roughly the right material in, the odds of a database game having exactly the endgame position you want is quite low - unless it's trivial anyway. Endgame books are more likely to be helpful if you need guidance in an ending.

EGTB, as has been pointed out are reverse engineered, brute force solutions and are not allowed on this site - except once the game has finished when you can do what you want.
