These guys understand a lot about computer chess, it is one of their main hobbies. You can see them as kibitzers and operators at world championships, you can read their articles about computer chess in the chess papers here, some bought literally every piece of chess software which was ever available. (One told me to send him new programs by double fast extra courier, no matter what it costs, just that he could test it faster than others, which I did not in order to save him money.) So you can be sure that they know what they are talking about let alone that they know how to install their software. Greetings Bert
