Help! I cannot understand this game’s notations!
I was surfing across Tim Krabbe’s website, as I usually do on occasion, and I found this interesting tidbit: https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/admag/hajiri.htm
A game of 34 moves is mentioned in the last paragraph and the notations for all of the moves are given. I do not understand it at all.
There are these strange letter for the pieces like P,T, and D. K is understandable as the King. I suspect that P is for pawn. Can anyone please explain to me what these symbols mean, and tell me what kind of notation variation that this is? A link to a site that explains it, such as it’s history, would also be helpful to have.
I would also like it if you could transcribe the for me as well please, so I may better understand this weird notation.
NOTE: Transcribe as in please post the game in the CSE chess replayer.

Can anyone please explain to me what these symbols mean?
These are the abbreviations for the pieces in Dutch. I believe they are almost the same as the German ones (with the exception of the knight = Springer (jumper) in German and = paard (horse) in Dutch (Pferd = horse in German), which are -
T = Turm (= Castle, Rook)
P = Pferd (= Horse, Knight)
L = Laufer (= Runner, Bishop)
K = Koenig (= King, King)
D = Dame (= Queen, Queen)
I would also like it if you could transcribe the for me as well

In German the knight is a Springer and notated as S, not a Pferd, as far as I know. But this is correct for Dutch.

Looks like it's just algebraic notation using Dutch as the language, most likely given the author's nationality and that the rest of the article looks like Dutch - not the whole of the world speaks English! You can translate it yourself using the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)
