An interesting tool for Lichess Studies and Lessons

Hello everyone, I was asked if there is a function in the Study mode to "pass" the move, as if White or Black could move twice or several times in a row. Does anyone know how to do that? In Chessbase you can use that Option by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+0".

Thank you for your answer.
It's known as a null move. Currently, it's not possible on lichess, but I too would like to see some feature like that. It could come handy when explaining ideas in variation :D
Nice one! :) I am sorry to add useless information. I searched a little bit and didn't put in the "null move" query.

Thanks for the info.
Lichess would have to use another file format for saving. IIRC pgn does not allow null moves. So how to export studies with null moves? Either not at all or cut after the last regular move.

Most of the times it should be possible to move some piece without changing the character of the position.

Or may be of course someone will just take the time to program such a feature and offer the solution to the devs? If it is such an important feature (@cocob) it will shurely be worth the effort...
@Goofy00 Thank you for the answer, of course pgn format has pros and cons. I wasn't writing with the idea of creating chaos, just was wondering whether it was possible. Somehow I will manage to traingulate shuffling the pieces around!
