Just a question: what is to find?

I believe the goal is to find a line that allows Black to force a draw (by repetition).
Right. This is the answer.

And compare the time Houdini 4 needs for the solution and the time Stockfish 7 needs for it.

There is a big gap.
So use Houdini for your analysis. The point in this thread was, that someone said, everybody should use SF6 for analysis instead of SF7 because SF6 is stronger. That simply is not true.

[d]r2qk2r/2p1bpp1/p5b1/1p1pP2p/3P2P1/5PnP/PPB2R2/RNBQ2K1 b kq - 2 16

In this position SF6 takes as long as SF7 to find hxg4 (at least on my machine). Even Komodo needs some time.
