The chain tension thing was something some crusty old trials rider told me a few years back. It definitely works. I find that I now tend to slightly drag my rear brake in slow going low traction situations in order to keep the chain tight. I pick a throttle position that works for the situation and meter said power with the clutch and brakes to take advantage when I find traction and limit any traction loss.
