Great masters almost always play great chess. Kasparov might best Steinitz but I think that the latter would give him a good fight. A draw might be the best prediction.

Steinitz would avoid Kasparov who would win any match

You have to give Steinitz time to familiarize himself with modern times, information, theory, openings, etc. At that point, it's probably a tossup.

Kaspersky learned from Steinitz, so he would lose on purpose, out of sheer respect. He says so in Predecessors.

This question is unimportant. but if steinitz was born in the same era as kasparov then steinitz would win. The best players now are all standing on the shoulders of giants. No chess player today can claim to be the best or greatest.

Except Praggnananndaah, 5 years from now.
