Is Anand the second greatest player the world has seen?

You're a tough critic! Can you really rate 10 players higher? Surely, Anand would crack the top 10..?!? He's a universal player with big match experience in the modern era of computers, databases, etc. The only negative is the way he acquired the World Championship but that is hardly his fault so he shouldn't be dinged for it. He smashed Kramnik and has now defeated Topalov on his own turf...give the guy some credit!
Kasparov is half Armenian half Russian :)
