If you could pick two people from different eras to have a match, who would you choose and why?

I'd go with Cleopatra and Joan of Arc, the reason being that'd be a big crowd pleaser.

i would like to see paul morphy versus bobby fischer once in morphy's time and the other 1972 iceland with all the cameras.

capablanca versus kasparov...one game in cuba 1960s and the other in the white house during clinton administration.

Morphy v Tal would be an entertaining game.

Conflagration_Planet

Fischer v Morphy.

duskrevival

Capablanca vs Bongcloud..

Both with legendary endgame skills...

I'm afraid Capablanca also knew to get his king in the action in the endgame...
fabelhaft

It would be interesting to see for example Hou Yifan vs Morphy or Lasker just to see how much the level has improved. I think a 2600 player of today would beat Morphy but lose against Lasker.

Try harder. You're gonna get fired by the boss scammer if he sees this mediocre effort.

Ok, come on guys, maybe I a little bit off topic but: 

Fischer vs. Karpov: not inter-era, but the best match should have happened that never happened

Fischer vs. Kasparov: Are you kidding me?  This is THE dream match. 

Tal (at his best) vs Karpov
