An Old Turkic Board Game

Köçürme is an Old Turkic board game belonging to the mancala family. Mancala games are two-player, turn-based strategy games typically played with small stones, beans, seeds, or similar pieces, which are distributed among rows of holes or pits arranged in the ground, on a board, or on another playing surface.

It is attested in Maḥmūd al-Kāshgharī’s Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk. Al-Kāshgharī defines the game as follows:

Köçürme (كُجُرمَا), Köçürme oyun (كُجُرمَا اُيُن): A game also known as ondört (“fourteen”). Four lines are drawn on the ground in the shape of a fortress, within which ten “gates” are made. The game is played on these gates using hazelnuts or other similar objects.

Variants of this game continue to be played today in Kazakhstan as Toğız Qumalaq, in Kyrgyzstan as Toğuz Qorğool, and in Turkey as Mangala.

Субклад R1b-L1433 является свойственным для казахов из рода Кара-кыпшак, имеет происхождение связанное с Одинцовской культурой лесостепного Алтая, что интересно как и клада R-Y20750 что было указано выше имеет сереьезный аутосомный вклад связанный с группой(WSHG) как Ботайская культура, позже в результате смешивание с группой тюрок из Севернего Казахстана образовалось Сросткинская/Кимакская кульутра что дало широкое распространение этого субклада по всему ареалу где находилось кипчакоязычное население, в этом субкладе также ногайские кипчаки, башкирские Карагай-кыпсаки и тамьяны, каракалпакске кыпшаки (Канлы и Канжигалы), канлы (Иргекли), ногайские кипчаки и канлы(Терекли-Мектеба), касимовские кипчаки(Тонкачевы), кыргызские кипчаки(Торуайгыр и Кызылаяк), Узбекские кипчаки(Жети-Кашка), кумандинцы из сеока Куманды, Тон и Тастар, монголы, крымские, тоболо-иртышские, томские, казанские и мищарские татары.

The J2a2-PH358 subclade has been identified among representatives of the Jalayir and Teleu Kazakh tribes, and its origin may be associated with the bearers of the Bulan-Koby culture in the Altai region. This genetic lineage later became widespread during the era of the Turkic Khaganate and is now found among nearly all Turkic peoples. In addition, this subclade has also been detected among the Oirats, Chinese, Tajiks, and other populations.
Researchers also associate the widespread practice of horse burials with the Bulan-Koby culture. This funerary tradition later became a characteristic cultural feature of the majority of Turkic peoples.
Furthermore, according to the as-yet unpublished research of Daniel Tabin, representatives of the Common Turkic Shaz linguistic branch share a common autosomal ancestral component. These findings support the hypothesis that the Bulan-Koby culture may have played a significant role in the formation of the early Turkic peoples.

Origins of Kangly Tribe of Kazakhs

The subclade Q-L330 > Y12678, associated with the Kazakh clan Kangly was identified in an ancient DNA sample from the Shchepchikha-1 site (ALT120), belonging to the Srostki culture, which represents a local group of the Kimaks. The sample dates to the Shchadrino stage (second half of the 10th century — first half of the 11th century). These findings do not support the hypothesis that the Kangly clan originated from the Kangju tribal confederation; instead, they can be viewed as an argument in favor of their descent from the Kimaks.
