A properly applied fork deals with using a knight to threaten two of the opponent's pieces at once. It means that the opponent has to make a decision as to which of the two pieces they will give up. If one of the pieces is the king, it is pretty much given that the other piece is gone. It is a very demoralizing move for your opponent!
