Yes and yes. For a nice example of this happening, see Rebel - Sjeng and The King - Sjeng in the Dutch championships. Both French defenses, but in the first Sjeng got a position where it is not able to play the best moves and lost horribly. (in fact, Sjeng would even have played good moves with white, because they were much more 'natural' for it) In the second game we chose a different variation and Sjeng got a position it could understand, and went on to win. Objectively, both openings were even, but in practise, they were not. -- GCP
