Open diffs do the opposite. Open diffs provide power to the wheel that has the worst grip, or the wheel that is the easier to spin.

I would not say it provides power to the wheel that has the best grip. It still provides a lot of power to the wheel that is spinning but it also provides power to the other wheel that has traction unlike the open which all the power goes to the one that is spinning. The amount of power that is applied to the wheel that has traction depends on the design of the LSD and the amount of friction is applied from one side to the other.
