This can also be done by the programmers. E.g. If CrazyStone is too strong,

If CrazyStoneH3 is given white and plays: 2. whatever 4. pass 6. pass 8.
pass. Black cannot pass and win the game because of komi.
I like this idea.
This actually might work even without a server change. The
self-handicapped program can even play black and pass on the
2nd,3rd,... move. White still cannot win by passing since there
are live black stones on the board.
It is not exactly like real handicaps but it would be interesting
to see.
