What is Advanced Pawn?

An Advanced Pawn in chess refers to a pawn that is positioned in the opponent's side of the board, thereby posing a threat to the opponent and often playing a crucial role in the endgame. The farther it advances, the more powerful it becomes, often forcing the opponent to divert resources to prevent it from promoting to a more powerful piece. It could potentially restrict the movement of the opponent's pieces or control key squares on the chessboard.
