Apparently it does need user registration (it's doing an openid auth check, and not letting me in).

also it complains about the form of my email address (but not exactly what is wrong), so it seems impossible to register.
Looks like my interest in Shogi has a compulsory ending.

In the end I managed to register, with a lot of help from Google Translate.
