An advanced pawn sits deep in enemy territory, one or two squares from promoting, and the tactics in these positions revolve around supporting its push or exploiting the pieces tied down to stopping it. A pawn on the seventh rank is often worth more than a piece.
Notice which enemy pieces are stuck babysitting the pawn — they are not defending anything else. The winning move is frequently on the other side of the board, made possible because the defence is overcommitted.
This trainer draws on 570 puzzles tagged with the advanced pawn theme, rated from 400 to 3052 with a median of 1747. Every position comes from a real game in the Lichess open puzzle database, so the tactics are ones that actually occurred over the board rather than composed studies.
