No... it is generally OK.  The problem here was the rating issue.  I don't know
what your rating is, but the suggested fix is to add this to your crafty.rc
file:

rating 2400 2200

that should set the drawscore appropriately.  If you can't do this in the fritz
GUI, see if you can set the contempt factor.  If so, set it to -20, which will
do the same thing as the above rating command.
