Who Would You Play?

Imagine that you are one of the strongest chess players in the world. In fact, you have just won the candidates tournament to earn yourself the right to play a classical match for the title against the reigning World Chess Champion. If you could magically transport yourself to any point in time, and any location, which World Chess Champion would you like to play, and which venue would you choose?
Garry Kasparov or Alexander Alekhine... in the sport hall at the capital city of my country.
I'd play Susan Polgar in the Sky Bistro on top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park.
I'm torn between Emanuel Lasker, Moscow, Russian Empire, 1896, and Alexander Alekhine, Berlin, Germany, 1929.
Well I know he hasn't been world champion (but has beaten the best) and the player that I think plays the most beautiful chess atm and who I would like to play is Teimour Radjabov, and I would play him here ,at home, in my flat ,so I could drink and smoke, that would be great xxx
I'd like to play Max Euwe in the same cities (in the Netherlands) that hosted the 1935 world chess championship. I think we'd talk each other about mathematics and visit many restaurants tasting good wines...
Probably Kasparov because he has passion about the game. Would like to play on the roof of the Central Park Tower with a glass floor if possible.

So, the likes of Fischer, Mikhail Tal and Alexander Alekhine didn't have the passion ?
However, the venue pick is impressive. :)
