Onderwerp: 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?
