Originally it was written in long hand descriptive
and it was also considered very bad form to mention names.
Our
H. Staunton v H. Bird
1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
was thus
Mr. S_____________ versus Mr. B_____________
1. King's pawn to King's pawn fourth. - The same.
2.Kings Knight to the King's Bishop's third - Queen's Knight to etc...
You get the idea.

No idea what a Yahoo 1200 plays like but I'd say:
Edward Lasker's Chess strategy
Fischer's My 60 memorable games
Need to know descriptive for both.
