  Unfortunately, "running around" is a bit unspecific, but nevertheless, here are some offhand suggestions.
  
  * "The ladder" username_1 suggested you can see in problem chess, but also in the Philidor position in the Q vs R endgame: Kc6 Qa5 - Kb8 Rb7, black to move, e.g. 1...Rb1 2.Qd8+ Ka7 3.Qe7+ Kb8 4.Qf8+ Ka7 5.Qf7+ (a bit precision, please) Kb8 6.Qg8+ Ka7 7.Qa2+ 1-0
