Hactar can play both go and capture go. Capture go is easier game for the computer, so Hactar can play it against you without a server.
Hactar plays go using a server, this way Hactar has decent strength in go (Note: Hactar Lite plays at beginner level.)
You can find more information from <a href="http://gowrite.net/hactar/client.php?lang=en">Hactar home pages</a>.

Capture-go is a variant of go. In capture-go the goal is to capture opponents stone(s). Capture Go is easier to learn, but still very challenging game.

Go is usually played in a 19 by 19 board, but smaller boards are better for learning the game. 9 by 9 is the best board to start with.
Diagram shows 9x9 board with first three stones played.

In an even game white gets 6.5 extra points to compensate black's right to start the game.
If black player is less skilled than white, a handicap can be used to make the game interesting. Black player may get 2 to 9 handicap stones at the start of the game. In a handicap game white gets 0.5 extra points (komi).

After the game ends, a result is calculated. Any stones that opponent could capture are calculated as captured.
Players points are the sum of following:
* The territory he has surrounded,
* Captured and capturable opponents' stones.
White usually gets some extra compensation for blacks' right to start the game. This is called komi.
Hactar uses Japanese rules for calculating result.

The game starts from an empty board, and black plays the first stone. The goal is to surround empty territory and capture opponents stones. Game ends when both players pass.
Stones can be captured in the same way as in capture-go.
Repetition of same board position is forbidden similarly to capture 3 game.

An example game continuation is shown. White 1 cannot capture the black stone. Black 2 could connect black stone, but here it does not do it. White 3 may capture black stone, as stones 1 and 2 changed the whole-board position.

Capture 3 stones has an additional rule: A player may not play a stone so that it creates a past board position. So repetition of full-board position is not allowed.

White may not capture black immediately after black capture, as this would produce the same whole board position as before black move. So white must play somewhere else. After this white may capture from A.
