Subject: Fritz Friend Mode...

Is there a typo in the Fritz 8 help about Friend mode?

It seems the logic is straightforward:  The greater the number, the bigger the
handicap.  This continues into the negatives...

However, in the Fritz help, it says, "if after about 6 games the program sets
you handicap to below -400 (=minus four pawns) you are advised to practice
elementary tactics..."

Shouldn't that be +400?  After all, it says, "Top players will indeed have a
negative handicap."

So what's the deal?
