Has there even been a chess game that has been played twice ?

Yes, plenty of them. All the ones I'm aware of have been `grandmaster
draws' of under twenty moves. A while ago (probably a few years,
now), I posted some examples from Karpov's play in the Ruy Lopez but I
can't find them with Google and I don't have my copy of Fritz to hand.
At the scholastic level, there are many duplicate decisive games.
I've only been involved in scholastics a short time and have seen
1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 d6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Qxf7++ twice. I'd guess that
the short games with mates on f7 or f2 have occurred hundreds
and hundreds of times.
