Yes, Steve, the manual for this "BLUE CC1" has exactly the same wording on the
last page as my other two manuals do, including the information about the
upgrade.

Do you think that anybody on Kurt's forum might know something about this?  Can
I post a question like this in English there, or should I try and get a German
translation somehow?

I really want to know why Fidelity would switch from plastic pieces that have
magnets in the bottom, to wooden ones that are way too large for the board and
have no magnets.  The wooden ones are very difficult to use as they slide all
over and are too big for the squares.  At least this would explain why the box
and manual pictures show different pieces than the more common wooden ones.

I like that and it is certainly true.  The last 5% of anything will be the most
difficult to achieve.  And perhaps the most satisfying.
