There is a feature in winboard/xboard that allows you to limit the number of
consecutive games.  Search for 'zippyMaxGames' in the zippy.readme file.

Also, with winboard you can use the gameend alias to do a seek after each game
for example:

+alias gameend ;seek r 5 0 2000-9999;seek r 5 3 2000-9999

'=alias' will list your aliases.

cheers,
Peter
