Yes but still that does not answer the question , if there are millions
of recorded games , have two games ever been played the same ?
You would think there have been but i have no idea how to look that
up..

There certainly are games that are the same. In my database there are 48
cases of this game 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Be7 6.Re1
b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 O-O 9.h3 Re8 10.Ng5 Rf8 11.Nf3 Re8 12.Ng5 1/2-1/2 and
I'm sure there would be other cases of drawing lines.
There are also games where one player has fallen into an opening trap and
then resigned, such as 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.e3 Bb4+ 5.Bd2 dxe3
6.Bxb4 exf2+ 7.Ke2 fxg1=N+ 8.Rxg1 Bg4+ 0-1 which has appeared 4 times in
my database.
Longer games, especially ones that go some distance from the opening
would be much less likely to be duplicated, but I do remember hearing of
cases when it has happened.
