It's tricky to describe this action in a couple of words, "Auto finish" might be
slightly better than "end game", the longer length of the text on the toolbar
goes against it, so I'm not convinced it's worth changing.

I've changed it to "Play to the end of the game automatically?", I first thought
of something like your phrases but I don't think "gnubg" is a good word for
novice users.
