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... Will
