> In the past it has beaten a 9p with a 4 stone handicap, which is impressive, but that handicap is huge and it hasn't yet won with 3 stones

4 stones is a huge handicap? 4 stones is a huge handicap if he was playing against a 6p maybe. But with 4 stones handicap anything near 2-4p would still have a hard time.

Pro ranks are much closer than amature ranks. The difference between a 9p and 6p is probably less than one stone, and definitely less than three.
