I don't know how to do this, maybe engine testers may answer.

You can make a pgn file of positions, and use either arena or winboard to load
the postions from the file one by one, and play matches from the position. You
can go to Heinz's website to download a pgn of Nunn 2 positions:

Many testers use nunn positions to test engines.
