It is possible to do it automatically within Fritz5. There you can load
more than one engine and let them play automatically against each other.
You can also give opening positions from where they will start.
Available engines are Fritz1.2, Fritz3.10, Fritz4.01, Fritz5, Hiarcs6,
Junior4.6 and Doctor2?. Fritz5 is now offered by Gambitsoft for DM129
which is approximately $70, before it was offered for $125=DM200.
Gambitsoft writes the prize may increase again for it is possible that
this is only an effect of the "war" between Gambitsoft and HCC
(Weiner/Millenium software).
Rebel9 also has this engine-vs-engine concept but doesn't work properly
if you try to setup different opening books, at least on my computer.
And it has only Rebel Decade, Rebel7, Rebel8 and Rebel9 as engines.
