Yes, with restrictions, mainly that you also have a paid account.
From their web page: http://www.chessclub.com/help/computers
Free computer accounts:
-----------------------
Due to the large number of computer accounts on the ICC, we are
giving free accounts only in a few specific situations. You must
meet one of the following requirements:
1) You are the author of the chess program, or
2) Your program is automated and will play only wild chess, or
3) Your program is automated and set up to play below 1800 ICC strength.
You must also follow these rules:
1) You must maintain a non-expired human account.
2) You cannot use a free computer account for observing ICC events,
for playing games yourself, or for any activities other than
having the program play games.
3) You keep this information in the finger notes:
- ICC handle of the human owner/operator.
- Name and version number of the chess program used.
- What kind of machine it runs on.
Send a message to FreeComputer requesting your free computer account
AFTER you have set it up and if you meet all the above requirements.
ICC reserves the right to decline an application for a free computer
account or to remove the free status for any reason. Free accounts
unused for one year may be deleted.
