Subject: Fritz 6 & ELO Rating function

Hello,
I had about 150 games played by Junior in my latest database and along came
Fritz 6.  So I played a 40 game match Fritz vs Junior.  Junior won the match
20.5 to 19.5.  When I added the 40 games to the database and clicked on "Create
ELO Start List" to my surprise, Fritz was rated higher than Junior.  Can anyone
explain this ??  I mean how can you lose a match to another player and it's the
only games you have played and yet end up with a rating higher than the player
who just beat you??
