I was wondering what some of our chess enthusiasts would consider the best "Dream Match" of all time? Who would you like to see play chess across the decades, or centuries?

My own favorites (not in any order)

1. Morphy vs. Fischer
2. Tal vs. Capablanca
3. Steintz vs. Morphy
4. Lasker vs. Kasparov
5. Karpov vs. Alekhine

Any predictions on how your matches would turn out?

1. Morphy vs. Fischer = 0-1
2. Tal vs. Capablanca = 0-1
3. Steintz vs. Morphy = 0-1
4. Lasker vs. Kasparov = 0-1
5. Karpov vs. Alekhine = 1-0

But the best matches would be the amazing Capablanca versus Kasparov of Fischer. My belief is that Capablanca was the best Chess-brain ever and he could not lose if he wanted.......Kasparov is incredible of cource but this is caused on a big degree due to his amazing preparation......
Fischer is just the top of brilliance but he was not so "normal" to become the best of the best, as he didn't last long enough......
