Yes. But then again deep blue 97 thrashed Kasparov in one :)

Scotch might be worth a try. The italian complex 3 Bc4 might be worth a shot
except opening theory favours black in either the Two knights defence on 3.Nf6..

Or 3..Bc5 where c3,d4 is not good. Evans gambit might be a good choice.

Only problem, Kasparov is known to play the Scotch and Evans, highly likely
Kramnik will know this lines too in his preparation...
