Lets say two players play a 47 move game or 50 move or 36 move game ,
has that game ever been played by two other people ?

In all the recorded games that you have in a computer data basse has
there ever been two games with the same moves for the whole game?


Many instances of duplicate games are known, and many other unknown
duplicates have surely occurred. One known instance is described he

http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/i...of_world_chess

Scan down to CN #5466, which describes a 1939 game duplicating one
from 1860. I have read of others, but unfortunately can't recall
specifics offhand.
The example Winter gives is a 17-move game. Naturally, the chance of
duplication lessens with the length of the game. Duplicates of 50
moves would be highly improbable.
