the stake. Ordo is a kind of military map, with the help of which the warriors
were trained on how to defeat the enemy. A circle drawn on the ground meant the
territory of the state, and the rivals worked out a battle plan. The knocking
out of the khan meant the overthrow of the ruler from the throne. The game is
based on the ability to conduct a correct domestic policy, being careful within
the circle, that is, in power.
