Thus, the merge is not properly made. In list view, Scid does not recognize transpositions in games. In tree view it may do. If you create a small database with only these two games, the tree works exactly as you expect. I am not sure, but you may be able to save the tree as a single new game. This game should show two variations: One after 2.Nf3 and one after 10... Nbd7 I have two manual workaround suggestions (I hope you do not need to do this for many games!): 1. (may work) * Open game 2 and go to the position after 10.... Nbd7 * Strip moves from the beginning (make it start at move 11.Nb3 from a FEN start position) * save this game as a (temporary) new game. * Merge this stripped copy of game 2, into game 1. This may work, but I did not test this myself. * Delete the temporary copy. 2. (certainly works, but takes some time) * Open game 1 and go to the position after 10....Nbd7 * Enter the moves as they were played in game 2, starting with 11.Nb3 * save the game as a new game using the data from game 2. * Reopen game 1 and merge the patched copy of game 2 * Delete the temporary copy. Depending on how you want the merge result stored, exact operations can be simplified a bit (but I guess you got that point).
