Is it just Me. Or do the Chess Champions Paul Morphy and Jose Capablanca look quite a like!?

Mouth, Eyes and most especially ear.

I wonder who "positioned" the two?

interesting, they look quite different to me... the facial structure looks completely different, and tbh, i don't see a single feature where i can't pinpoint a strong difference

I could never mistake one for the other.

The Noses are abridged so similar. They are making the exact same facial expression with lips.

The lips are indent ical the noses are abridged in the same manner.

Interestingly enough, I have heard that Paul Morphy was New Orleans "Creole" meaning that although he was American, he was descended from immigrants from France, possible native and African American. Just by looking at the B&W pic I can tell he was mixed race.

The noses both have a protruding part in the middle (forgot what that's called) but I believe the angle and length are different and the bottoms are shaped differently. The lips are definitely not "identical" and the area around the mouth is shaped differently as well. Both pictures have a neutral facial expression, I guess, which seems normal from a picture. The second picture is much lower quality, but I see an intensity in the first that isn't present in the second.

I'd hate to sound like some kind of pervert, but...

Their upper right cheek bones, Their upper lips, and lips still look at identical.

I don't see what's perverted but I'm not seeing what you're seeing. This is just a question out of curiosity (I hope you don't take offense) but do you have prosopagnosia? Not saying that this question is that unusual as to make me believe you can't distinguish faces at all, but I'm just wondering.

"but do you have prosopagnosia?"

You're the one unable to recognize what I am posting. It's you with the inability to digest in observations that cannot be broken down further.

It appears you have the disease you speak of.

And yes, it was an insult.

Hi, it was a question in case you do; I don't see prosopagnosia as a negative thing, (hence, not an insult) but I recognize that it could be read as "you're so bad at recognizing faces" but that's not what I intended at all.
I tried my best to answer the OP in detail. Sorry if I didn't succeed.

Capa’s lips are thinner; Morphy’s cheekbones are higher and his face is rounder. They could not pass for relatives.

The only similarity is that both have a Roman nose. Morphy’s though is much wider at the base.

Morphy spent part of the American Civil War in Cuba. Perhaps he's Capablanca's illegitimate grandfather.

Yes, now I see the similarity.

It's just you.

@TheNameOfNames Ehm is Asian too lol

But yeah i dont think Ding looks like Jackie Chan at all

@OP - are you kidding? Their ties are completely different. Case closed.

Is it just me or do Emanuel Lasker & Vladimir Kramnik look alike?

This one really has me fooled.
