    Chess positions are like that too, after any “main line” it quickly becomes a never played game…

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems more realistic to say:

      1. Playing the same game twice is unlikely because of the number of possible games, OR
      2. It’s possible the same game has never been played twice, OR
      3. After a certain number of moves, it’s very possible to create a never-played game

      I’m certain I’ve played the same game multiple times, because I suck at chess and I fall into the same obvious traps over and over.

        You were in a main-line then.

        And what you states is matematics/statistics, but if you take that ar face value, you could just win the lottery 10000 times in a row too.
