Wild rook
It looks like white can keep checking the black king since his own king is in a stalemate position. The king does not even find cover behind Rd2, the white rook is gone wild...
Here is another wild rook (Larry Evans - Samuel Reshevsky, 1963, 1/2-1/2)

Evans pulls off one of the great swindles of all times.

Another crazy rook
