Most lilely not. Console-mode works, but I don't think it supports winboard/uci protocol.

Just had a quick look at it. "help" command displays a lot of options, and I managed to make it show iterations and some stats during and after search. No pv, though. Not very usable at blitz time controls, because if it allocates 5 seconds/move, it seems to always move instantly. Otherwise (on longer time controls), probably playable, if you have the patience to manually enter moves and read the replies.

But that's just after like 10 minutes of messing with it. Most of the options I haven't even checked.
