Orda is an asymmetric chess variant that pits the Mongol horde against the kingdom. The Mongol horde is based around knight movement, with pieces like the horse archer that move like a knight but capture like a bishop, or the Kheshig which moves and captures like a knight and king combined, while the kingdom has the same pieces and opening set up as the standard chess army.
