Hate endgame or hate middlegame

If you are good at endgames and see a way of simplifying into an ending with a clear advantage, you may want to do that. Of maybe you are short on time and want to avoid blundering this way. On the contrary, if you don’t like endgames that much and have enough time, you may want to try to take your chances in the middlegame. However, one shouldn’t go against the nature of the position: if an endgame is called for, you should go for it. Anyway, one should aim at becoming a well-rounded universal player, and that requires playing endgames well.
