Has the same game ever been played twice? (unintentionally)
I'm not talking
about scholars mates here, but something like 20-30 moves
past a 10 move main line opening of the French or something.

One that might qualify

Tarrasch-Zuckertort & Tarrasch-Gunsberg
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Nxe4 6.d4 b5 7.Bb3 d5
8.dxe5 Be6 9.c3 Be7 10.Re1 0-0 11.Nd4 Qd7 12.Nxe6 Qxe6 13.Rxe4 1-0

The first game was AFAIR in Frankfurt 1887, the second one in
Manchester, 1890.

The game Alekhine-Botwinnik has been replayed by me in an ICC
match.
