Hi Rajen,
In my Hiarcs732 (Fritz532 GUI) the openings certainly are reversed.  The Opening
Bookmoves of Game 1 are repeated in Game 2 (in fact Game 2, from memory, clicks
straight to the position at the end of the opening).

Perhaps there is some setting you use (maybe different books, or "alternate" not
ticked) that forces the non-repetition of Openings.

I will go to the T-Notes at Chessbase & see if Steve Lopez has ever covered
this.

Regards & Merry Christmas
