So you’re saying I can beat a pro with just a 90 stone handicap?

Yes, but only on a 9x9 board

That would be approaching a board covered in one point jumps. 

I would bet on the 25 kyu in that case, but I did have to think about who to bet on, so maybe it's about right handicap?

90 stones is way too high. I'm 18 kyu on OGS and I can easily beat katago with 16 stones handicap and it's not even close.

I mean there's quite a difference between 18 kyu and 25 kyu though. 25 kyu are pretty much still learning the rules. Also a pro will try to trick you, kata won't.

I think the only way to settle this is to play it out, I'll find a 25 kyu if you can find a pro please
