Yes, it is. And it's all free, and like Djordje said, everything works on it's
own, you can just sit down and watch (or go to sleep or whatever).

I use Chessbase Light for this. I simply import all the games and Chessbase
spits out the statistics. And while looking over some of the games I can use
the included Fritz-module to analyse and look for tactical blunders, or simply
to
see, where the score for one side drops. (And Chessbase Light is freely
available too... :-)

Djordje's idea to use Rebel 8.0 for this task is a good one too, I think I'll
try this out this evening.

Greetings,

  Heiko.
