iv_startpos
 
  Setting ivariable startpos will generate a board at the start of a move
list if the move list does not start from the normal chess position. This make
it possible for interfaces to correctly determine the history of positions from
the start.

  The type of board shown depends on the setting of style. For styles that
have a relation variable, it will be set to -4 to indicate a position relating
to a move list.
