Some Russian ex-world champion placed first.
Nakamura is definitely showing he belongs in world class tournaments, losing only to Magnus Carlsen and winning over Aronian and Anand.
I watched some of the games live via The Week In Chess including Nakamura's rather sloppy win as black against Anand in a mainline King's Indian Defense: Bayonet Attack Variation. in the 4th round on 12/6.
I have been annotating this game off and on over the last week. Chessgames.com has the game and kibitzing, while here my annotations.
