@petri999 Thank you for the quote on the rule and your comment, but it's a rule to "pause the clock" no matter who's turn it is to play.
Each player has their own clock that runs only when it is their turn to move. The player whose clock is running is the only one allowed to adjust the pieces on the board. If they touch a piece when it's not their clock running, that makes it an illegal move. The release of a move is just part of a legal move because the rules are made in a way that chess can be played with and without a clock.
It does not even seem logical to play when your clock has not been started. The player would be better off waiting as they watch the opponents clock run down because the opponent forgot to press their own clock.
Purpose of using a chess clock: A clock is used to monitor each player's total time (maintained by proper sequence) and to prevent delays. If a player did not use any time to play a move, it would be undermining the entire purpose of using a clock.
FIDE Article 1.1.3 : A player is said to ‘have the move’ when his/her opponent’s move has been ‘made’.
Having the move does does not mean the opponents move was complete, it is if no clock was used. They say "made", so the player cannot taken back their move to play a different move. There is still the clock that "must" be pressed to consider a move "complete".
FIDE Article 6.2.5 Only the player whose clock is running is allowed to adjust the pieces.
Just this 6.2.5 should be enough to fully understand that a player can only touch a piece when it's their our own clock that is running. A move can be made and be considered legal if placed where it is considered a legal move, but it must be done when it's their own clock that is running, or else it is touching a piece while it's not your clock that is running. The touch rule is what I go by when I use a clock. I respect the clock. It gives me permission to touch a piece.
Sorry for getting out of subject. This topic of playing out of the sequence of the clock has been addressed often. Yet not clearly explain in the rules, besides saying a piece cannot be adjusted if it's not your clock that is running. Rather than just saying saying adjust, they should include the word move. handbook.fide.com/chapter/E012023
Note how we can wait to hear a press of the clock and then race through the game. Lichess needs that click sound when the clock changes. The chessboard should have legal moves before you can play a move. A rook on it's side rolling off a chessboard is not a legal move and the game could have been paused by the rule 6.2.2 and claim an illegal move. Extra time might have been given for claiming the illegal move.

I love internet chess because the touch rule and clock are less of an issue. OTB should use portable keyboards and mouse (with dual image projection or dual-sided projection) when playing fast time controls. This would avoid the problem of playing a piece not in sequence with the clock.
