      Why not a readable PGN that can - including
      the header - directly imported in a chess
      program? BTW: An interesting game. I am goin
      to have a deeper look in order to find out
      if the queen sac was correct. And below the
      "readable" PGN
      Kurt

[Event "Vienna"]
[Site "Vienna"]
[Date "1872.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Hampe"]
[Black "Meitner, P."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[ECO "C25"]
[PlyCount "34"]
[EventDate "1872.??.??"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Bc5 3. Na4 Bxf2+ 4. Kxf2 Qh4+ 5. Ke3 Qf4+ 6. Kd3 d5 7. Kc3 Qxe4
