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.
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.
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.)
