I personally don't like the experience of playing with more than 3-4 handicap stones. For the weaker player, every move it's like "What is my opponent up to now? I am still ahead, I should just play safe." and for the stronger player it's like "How can I force my opponent to make mistakes?". These thoughts are sometimes part of an even game but not as frequently.
