Ah yes, i forgot this :) My personnal rule is - on 13x13 divide handicap by 2 - on 9x9 divide by 3 It is a bit rough, but quite good. More subbtle attempts are summarized at: http://senseis.xmp.net/?HandicapForSmallerBoardSizes http://senseis.xmp.net/?AGAHandicaps and http://www.timhunt.me.uk/go/handicaps/ with and "interesting observation" in the end.
