The Abu Dhabi Super Blitz Challenge took place on the chess.com servers starting at 18:00 BST 15th April 2020. Players included: Nakamura, MVL and Caruana. Vladislav Artemiev beat Olexandr Bortnyk 2-0 in the final of the event Daniil Dubov beat Sarin Nihal to finished 3rd. There was an 11 round swiss event with 1215 players. The top 8 played a knockout to decide the prizes.

Details: Artemiev wins the Abu Dhabi super blitz challenge.

All the games have been published but I could only produce a 171 game file of the games from the preliminary section - those between the players whose names and nicknames I had time to look up. I do have all the games from the final knockout phase.
