Chess - sadisticTushi

Spreadsheets  of  video links  to Tushi's games on YouTube (sortable) 

TL;DR

The 'jewel in crown' is the first spreadsheet,  blunderpaanda+......under_2000.... You get a list of links to Tushi's videos from across his multiple accounts. Each game has;  a YouTube link to its start,  a playable link into chess.com,  the chess.com description of that opening  and the first 9 moves of that game.  

The entries are sortable, e.g. you can sort by black's first moves, this lets you group together all the games where Tushi tells you to play the same way, when for example as black, he faces white's  1.d4  Queen's pawn opening.

Blunderpaanda - Start here

In mid 2024 our hero Tuhar Anand re-invented his chess on-line persona with the creation of  blunderpaanda.  Since then his style has evolved through his official speedrun account  blunderpaaaanda2  and main account tusha20008.

The first spreadsheet listed above, containing over 750 games, is this journey.  You can follow his development over weeks and months and watch as his crip clear english slowly speeds up and keep watching as he starts to add his unique humor and names, Bishop becomes 'Juicer' etc. watter 

Sort each game (and its video) by - Opening or Opponents ELO or . . . 

The spreadsheets are for download, that way you can sort the games into the groups you most want to study.  For example: sorting by opponent's ELO.  (As the above .xlsx spreadsheet is on Google Drive you can also double click the file and open it right here, to try out the links.)  You can mark the games you have  watched / liked the most, column  O  'Your notes'  is a good place.

Tushi's opponents in the first spreadsheet are mostly under 1500. How he deals with low ELO players is valuable as it shows us what to do verses 'strange opening moves'.  His play against opponents of around our own strength shows us how to exploit the small mistakes they may make.

Links to both the  YouTube  video and its  chess.com  game

For each game, there is a link to the start of THAT game in its Tushi video AND a link to the same game in chess.com so you can play it though / analyse it.

Simple sorting?

In the downloaded spreadsheet you can sort, for example, by opponents ELO -  Click any SINGLE real peice of data,  column K is opps ELO so click on any elo entry

Now select - sort Acscending or sort Descending withing your spreadsheet software.  In the free LibreOffice this is in the menubar under Data ->  Sort Ascending / Descending.

Sorting - Oldest first  or  Newest first ?

The spreadsheet comes sorted (A ⇑) Ascending ie: oldest date first.  If you automatically sort the first column as Descending ie: most recent date first you will have a small issue.  The most recent day will be first but within that day the last game of the day will also be first to get shown to you. 

To better follow Tushi's comments through a single days's video - instead -
When you want the 'most recent date first' - select a data item from the second column marked (D ⇓)  and use sort Descending.  

When sorting by date you can check if it has worked correctly as column E should always show the game number in natural order 1, 2, 3, ... down the page

What is not here

No Shorts, no short games (i.e. under 5 mins), no colabs, no bots, no 'Over The Board' glames. No Lichess - too hard to get the game links for the handful of games that could have been included.

Out of the 7000 or so videos that Tushi has on his site there are only about 1600 listed in the two spreadsheets.  So plenty more to discover.
