Pawn endgames have only kings and pawns left, which makes them the most concrete endgames on the board — every position is either winning, drawing, or losing by exact calculation, with no room for general judgement.
Opposition, triangulation, and the square of the pawn decide most of these positions. Because a single tempo flips the result, count the race move by move rather than estimating.
This trainer draws on 312 puzzles tagged with the pawn endgame theme, rated from 467 to 2908 with a median of 1914. 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.
