Unfortunately, only those who are registered can discover the secret ....
It is a. Exe called "ChessCombiV1" that combines engines Stockfish + Houdini in a one engine only....

Re: Reality or joke
This idea of using two engines as one by selecting moves of one or another following i don't know which algorithm was in my long term list of ideas. Of course the algorithm can be optimized also by tests. I'm happy someone has done it.
