What is the point of games like this?

As I can see, the game was played in a tournament. May be a draw was sufficient for both to end at a good ranking.

Well...
Both was the last position in round 1.
Maybe they was not motivated anymore to continue (if they new they will not advance to next round).
Or maybe the made a early draw before knowing this, and then I can't explain...
Anyway, draws by mutual agreement is very common...
Cheers,
Beco.

GM Joel says
My uncle, USCF expert Marty Merado, showed me the game when I was a child. I was completely enthralled—it is truly an amazing game!
I never considered the possibility that the game could be a fake. While Phillip Meitner has quite a few games on my databases, I cannot turn up anything for Carl Hamppe. Even if the game never really happened, the person who dreamed it up is a genius! I have no idea when it became part of “modern” chess lore; perhaps readers could suggest an early reference.

This game is completely true. I study this game with my father when I was boy. It is printed in the book "The combination" by P.A.Romanovskij (Middlegame 2.part) It was played in WIEN 1873
White: Hamppe- black: Meiner
To say something about this brilliant game then black goes to adwentures with 3.Bxf2+ and after whites 9.a3 he was getting worser so he found the great Queensac idea:9.Qxa4+!!..that was very strong because if white made small mistake he would have been mated. In the book Romanovskij talked about the justice of the Quenn sacrifice and he sayed it was correct and the best way for black because white was goin to control his game with for instance a4 and then more material would get white the better game soon..I dont know what modern computers say about this game and that is a special capital I guess..

Most sources on the web seem to say that the Hamppe-Meitner (note spelling) was played in Vienna (Wein) in 1870 or 1872, rather than 1873.
