Say I have a game

1.e4 e5 ...

and another 

1.e4 d5

How can i merge these two games into one game, were the 

differences will be added as a variation?

like

1. e4 e5 (1..d5)

I would be very glad when I understood what you ment to say...

According to my dictionary merging is combining ( even gradually ) two things ( two moves here ) so as to become a single thing ( one move ).

Where will the black pawn be placed ?

This depends on the software used. I use HIARCS, it has a simple "Merge with current game" menu entry.

thank you, the HIARCS program was perfect. I use scid, i wonder if there is an option for that in there...

In Scid:

  1. Load the first game
  2. Open the game list tab
  3. Right click on the game yoy want to merge, and click merge

with the Chessbase - open one game , copy it, open the second and paste the previous. probably this works with other similar database programs.

Also, Chessbase works the same way. But I do not know if merging games is a possibility in Chess.com
