introcom = on | off
default: on

The introcom command can be used to force Palview to skip any PGN comments that appear before the first move of the game. This is not what you would normally want to do. In fact, the comments that appear before the first move have a special meaning for Palview in that they are treated as a game introduction. (For more information on this, see the section: Portable Game Notation)

But there are times when it is convenient to have Palview skip the intro comments. For example, some chess software will sometimes use the intro comment(s) to write certain information. An example is shown by the following partial PGN file created by ChessBase:

{16384kB, Hiarcs.ctg. PentiumII}
 1. e4 1-0

In the above example you can force Palview to skip the comment {16384kB, Hiarcs.ctg. PentiumII} by turning off the introcom command with:

introcom = off
