Just assume that you are down to a King Queen vs. King endgame. There are infinitely many possiblities with just this combination of pieces. ( Granted that not all of them are good moves or combinations... )
For example, the queen could across the board and back, one rank at a time, over and over again.

There's an INFINITE number of possible chess games. Just after 3 moves in a game, you get over 9 million posibilities. So, there might be a probability for two games to have the exact same moves, but the more moves the game has, the probability is getting so slim its almost zero.

Needless to say, there are a lot. There are more possible chess positions than there are atoms in the universe, and there are countless ways to get to each position.

There are an infinite number of different moves before duplication would happen.
