Hi, this is my custom position. The queens are trapped by pawns, but they can be freed.
Mind blowing how in the world they are not above .5

Or how about this? This is like opposite side castling, but both sides are still symmetrical. This game should as a result have a lot of attacks on each king by using the pawns. Also, @balashukla0761 are you going to create tournaments with these positions?

Also lastly, for the maximum attack, this position is the same as the previous one, but with even less king protection.

Well this position obviously plays equally well for both sides. I'd score it as 0. How would you score it?

Castling is allowwed
Last move was queen to queen's square (possibly x knight).
Sorry . I've spent too much time in the Illegal Position Contest ("Contest" obviously being less of a problem to spell).

Come with the most interesting Custom Position the is playable for both sides (that mean it should be around +.50to-.50 it could go up a couple .01s). Plus it can't be a new variant and only 1 king per side.

Still no clarification of what is meant by a position being .6 to -.6.
If this is meant to be a program evaluation it depends on the program used, the resources available and the time allowed for the evaluation. For example the onsite analysis will settle on -21.75 for the position I posted earlier at 5 mins., while Stockfish on my PC will start at -21.75 but change its mind to -70.88 before 5 mins. has elapsed.
Obviously neither evaluation has any connection with the actual position.

but this position is over +0.50 for white. I still think it's a fair position for both sides though

The Engine Analysis settles on .47 for me, but perhaps OP had something different in mind.

Look at it again.
If you still think so post your move as Black.
Come up with the most interesting Custom Position that is playable for both sides (that means it should be around +.50 to-.50 it could go up a couple .01s). Plus it can't be a new variant and only 1 king per side.
1st-3rd place: x3
