Dejavú in Chess (Same Position, Different Move Counts))

D02 Queen's Pawn Game: Krause Variation

B13 Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation

This is why chess is confusing and cannot be understandable, because I cant explain how these two games landed in the same position but different move counts. I tried to match every single move in these games. However, I cant find any ideas on why and how this happened.

Chess can be a repetitive game sometimes, don't wanna dive into probability equations (I suck at maths) but there's a small chance you'll reach identical positions in different games

Basically nice bit of luck u got there, go get a lottery ticket

5..Nc6 in the first game looks bad.

Is that Qb6 makin all the difference?
