Wow, very cool!

Can someone explain what's going on at 20:24 : http://youtu.be/7YWYS209ydE?t=20m20s ?

He forks the king and the queen, then his opponent moved his queen!?! This is not a legal move right?

Had to re-watch a couple times: on that move, white had already moved pawn from g2 to g3, the knight from d6 to e8 is a pre-move that happens very quickly (you can see the red square); while white was setting up that pre-move, black moved the queen.

Does that clarify or did I miss what you are asking?
