The french help say :

small handicap = strong player
big handicap = weak player

The problem for me is the negative handicap (strong player). If handicap is
+200, chessbase engine wait you get 2 pawns (or equivalent) up to play at strong
level (or something like that). But how to understand negative handicap ?
