Fischer-Tal
Karpov-Kasparov of course, but
Fischer-Tal must be tops for short-lived intensity IMHO.
Bronstein-Botvinnik was a clash of worldviews.
Nakamura-Caruana will throw some sparks next year, I predict.
The best regional rivalry, however, may be the one left in Texas after the chess Annie Oakley pulled up stakes and packed off her guns for the heartland. Brownsville, Dallas/Richardson, Lubbock… Gives the term “Draw!” a whole new meaning.
