The ones from Yacpdb you can look up by pasting the EPD string in the "Add" slot and hitting search, to get something like this:

Some are also from the Chest UCI database.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your links.

But these 2 positions are always for me:
Stalemate for this position because no h pawns
[d]k1b5/1p1p1p2/1PpPpP2/2B5/8/2p1p3/2PbP3/3K4 w - - 0 1

And this position is win for black
[d]8/pp4p1/4k1P1/3p4/3P4/2P5/4K2P/8 w - -

Yes, stalemate and a win for Black. You are correct.
