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 also 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>.

* The territory he has surrounded,
* captured and capturable opponent's' stones.
White usually gets some extra compensation for black's right to start the the game. This is called komi.
Hactar uses Japanese rules for calculating result.
