This would be great... a big, reliable, debugged endgame test. I think Dann
Corbit is an expert in debugging tests, at least he has helped me once to find
some suspicious positions in my test. I don't know though, if he still likes to
do his long-time analysis'.

But in the CSS-Forum, we may have had something (some time ago), which is very
similar to what you search for: Mr. Walter Eigenmann has made a testsuite of 100
endgame test positions, which he presented complete with EPD data and some test
results:

But his idea was, to test *without* tablebases, which means the test includes
positions with database material. I must admit that I didn't take a closer look
at all of these yet, apart from some which were discussed right after that
posting. But I'm sure there's interesting material for you among the 100
positions.
