This is called "en passant" and is part of the chess rules.

Whenever a pawn moves two squares, you can basically capture it with a pawn of yours as if it had moved only one square, but only with a pawn and only in the move directly after the pawn's "double move".
Learned something new again, cool. Thank you!
