Sujet: Question About the Rules of International Checkers
In International Checkers, enemy pieces jumped over are not removed until the entire move is completed. 
Why is that?  Since pieces may only be jumped over once, why not remove them as you jump over them.  I could understand if you could jump over a piece more than once; then it would make sense not to remove it until the move was completed. 
Can someone explain the logic behind this rule?

MrWCF: This rule also exist in other variants, like in Portuguese checkers, and it does matter, sometimes. The question is that you can only jump once over each piece, in your move. To guarantee that you respect this, the "mechanism" is that the jumped pieces are only removed in the end of your move. If pieces were removed just after jumped, you would be ignoring that rule.


I don't know if I was clear: the question is not the piece taked (jumped) twice. The question is that a taked (jumped) piece works like a "wall" - that's the spirit of that rule!

MrWCF:

It is because you have to take track of the multiple captures, I guess.
So your opponet can aks you to take the correct jump if you made a mistake.
Were they removed, it is almost impossible to reconsruct and to object.

Helibore: I doubt that is the case. After all, if you make a mistake, and the stones are quickly removed the situation is the same. Furthermore, in any serious competition, players must write down their moves anyway.

No, the reason is that you are not allowed to jump a stone twice. If you make a multiple capture using a queen, if you would remove the stones during the move, it may be that it appears the queen has a free path, instead of being blocked by an already taken stone.

While speaking on this subject, shortly after International and other national checker variants appeared, I asked Fencer to make it on the move confirmation visible which checkers had been taken in this move (for instance, by showing them with a blue border). He answered positively, but it still hasn't happened. :(
