That is exactly what I was going to suggest. I liked the new rule, 
specially the fact that it reproduces how the game is played in certain 
regions of the world, like where Jeremy lives, for example :) It gives a 
new dimension for players of Shisen-Sho, and it almost creates a new 
puzzle type. But this must of course be properly documented, and I think 
it should also be labeled differently, not only as a setting to allow 
tiles to slide imo. Maybe you could find out the name of this variation, 
or we can label it as "Use Chinese sliding rules" or something like 
that, like you did with the matching option. This will indicate to the 
player that the rules of the game are slightly different under this 
variation, and the documentation will describe this in more detail.

As for the matching option, given the fact that artwork is shared with 
KMahjongg and most likely with other mahjongg games in the future, I 
suppose we can set the chinese matching conditions as the default, as it 
is really how the tiles were supposed to be used. This would make 
matching consistent between the two games, what do you think?
