Talk:Fyodor Rostopchin

In some Tarock games, there is a special move a player can make which is named Rostopchin.

"This consists of taking two consecutive tricks with Tarock XVII and Tarock XVIII, whereby when playing Tarock XVII one says "Ross!" and when playing Tarock XVIII "Topschin!" A player playing Tarock XVII and Tarock XVIII consecutively, without saying "Ross!" and "Topschin!" has not earned this bonus. He thus also cannot lose the bonus, if one of the two cards (or both cards) are captured." -http://www.wareh.org/cards/strohmandeln.html

I believe that this unmistakably comes from Feodor Rostopchin who was made count in 1799 (XVII) and then disgraced in 1801 (XVIII).

translation
This is pretty obviously a translation from a Russian-language article and needs some work to be good English. I already made one change. 100.15.127.199 (talk) 22:57, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
