Yes, Rajah always gives me a rough time, too.

Amateur behaves similiarly to Arasan in this position.  Likes Ne3, then switches
to Kf6 in ply 9 with a +93 score for black.  I think this is a good result.

I got the following from Hiarcs 6: likes Kf6 (-90 for black) until ply 9, when
it changes the score to +10.  Then in ply 11, the score goes +117 for black.  I
then played Kf6 Ra1, and let it search some more.  At ply 12, it still had black
up by 29.

Hiarcs had the same pv as Amateur: Kf6 Ra1 Bc4 Kg3 Ne3 Kf4 Nc2 g5 Ke7 Rxa2
Bxa2...
