An old fashioned beat down

The Melody Amber tournament finished yesterday, with Lev Aronian finishing outright first with 14/22. He did this by scoring 7/11 in both the blindfold and rapid sections. In the blindfold he shared top spot with Carlsen and Kramnik, while in the rapid he tied for first with Kamsky and Anand.
One of the more interesting games in the blindfold tournament occurred towards the end of the event, when Carlsen went up against Kramnik. Chessvibes suggested that Carlsen was "playing far below his normal level", but to me it was just a good old fashioned beat down.
