Quick or not, the same risks would remain if you were to play without a userid and password, and not using them is not going to make your games go any quicker. It also allows you to get a rating, which you could not do by playing anonymously.

Requiring a userid and password for posting games helps prevent spam posts. If someone misuses the ability to post games on our site, we can revoke that ability. It also enables features, such as the ability to see a listing of other pages by the same author.

Quite frankly, I see no good reason why you would care to participate in this site without getting a userid and password. Even if you're paranoid about people knowing who you are, you do have the option of using a pseudonym.
