If the knight moves to a square where it forks 8 pieces at the same time, it will capture all pieces in one go. If the king is among the pieces, the game will end in a check mate.
It’s very difficult to do. No one has managed to do it.
The highest anyone has ever done is a fork with seven pieces. I’m sure that someone will discover how to do it with eight pieces soon enough. We’re so close!
I like the idea of that being a special move given the other side has to setup the 8th piece. That’d be silly, except that’s kinda how en passant works so c’est la vie.

Surely it’s impossible as the space you moved from would be empty?
