"Running the Table" in chess

There is a concept in pool known as "Running the table" where a high-level player keeps making shots and wins the game without the opponent having a chance [the most extreme example is from the break onward].

Chess, of course, doesn't have this feature because players alternate moves...or does it?  There are some situations where it appears like one side can make multiple, consecutive moves without the opponent getting a chance to move.

The Daily Puzzle from 2023/03/12 is an example:  compare initial to final positions and it appears like Black hasn't moved while White has moved twice [Qh3 and f4].  I removed the h2 pawn for illustrative purposes.

Solving this puzzle was a matter of finding a 4-move combination [h2 pawn re-inserted]:

If one couldn't find this solution, an easier problem is asking yourself if White could win if he could make 2 consecutive moves?  One way is Rxh7 and Qf4# but since there is no way to accomplish that in reality, we can discard it.

However, the other way of Qh3 and f4# is achievable with the proper sequencing of moves.

This theme pops up occasionally in practice but more often in puzzles:  it appears like we don't have enough tempi to achieve a goal but with the proper ordering of moves, we end up synthetically doing just that, making it appears as if we've moved multiple times in succession without allowing the opponent a chance.

Note that if the average Grandmaster had this chess "superpower" [being able to make multiple, consecutive moves], he would beat Magnus Carlsen: no matter how good the opponent, all chess is structured around alternating moves. Not even the best player in the world could defend against this superpower.  The key is being able to identify scenarios where this can be brought about.
