I don't care what people say about handicap systems,  if you are the
stronger player you must start from a dead lost position.  Even though
I'm not a strong GO player, common sense tells me that you will have to
play "unsound" moves on purpose to have a chance. 

Yes, any pro will tell you that: to win against a large handicap, you must make 
overplays. With smaller handicaps it may be enough to patiently wait for the 
weaker player to make a mistake.

I'd be very interested in seeing how many stones a supercomputer could give 
GnuGo or other programs.
