Audio Chess
Recently I unearthed materials relating to the wonderful Audio Chess created by innovator Michael Basman.
Perhaps these stir some memories for you?

Re: Audio Chess
Hi John,
I'm sure I still have a couple knocking about somewhere. I definitely had 'Bashing the Benko'.
The Audiochess.com domain is up for sale
https://audiochess.com/chess/index.php? ... ductId=206
John Moore mentions them here:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6728&hilit=Hooper+ ... 75#p141864
"...an excellent one by David Hooper on Rook endings which is still a great introduction for the club and county player.
I also remember David, who passed away many years ago, ending the first side of the cassette by saying
"Now you will have to turn the record over""
Which I find rather charming.
Others after that post share a few Audio Chess memories.

Re: Audio Chess
I had this idea of taking one of the more interesting tapes, digitizing the audio and then creating a YouTube video using the audio and overlaying a video of the positions being discussed using the ChessBase Media system. I could also throw some images of the player(s) talking on the audio tapes.
I think this would be a fun thing to do and help to keep these tapes alive.
I suspect not many people these days have the facility to listen to a Philips style audio cassette first developed in 1963!
