Indeed, Trial mode is a good option, because allows several things, without registering the moves and once finished the variation, returning to the position where the variation started.
This can be handy in the following situations: - When reviewing an analysis, sometimes I wish to know, ¿what will happen with an alternative move?, just to discover why should not be done. Usually is an oversight on my part or the new position gives me the idea why the tried move isn't adequate. - Some chess engines remembers evaluations, an advancing to the end of a temporal variation, after returning to the start position it allows the engine to select a better alternate move, that save some time. - When reading a chess book or a comentary, trial mode allows to follow a comment presented briefly and return to the position from where the commentator presents other variations, making cleaner to follow the discurse. On another thought, I have not understood yet, why was necessary to supress a capability that already worked as expected?
