With ESC you can stop the automatical process and all games are saved in the database you made. If you use OVERVIEW in the database menues, you get an overview about % of success of the strongest engine. BTW: i doubt that eng-eng matches show you which engine is the strongest against OTHER programs than rebel. it might show you which style is strongest against another rebel style, but it will IMO not show you which style is the strongest against fritz8, shredder7 or other programs.
