The chain figure of [9–12] is similar to a Ladies’ Chain, but “skewed diagonally” as it is danced by 1c in 2pl with their 2cnrs.
[13–16] has a skewed Men’s Chain, danced by 1c in 2pl with their 1cnrs. These skewed chains are not yet included in the list of formations, and therefore shown (incorrectly) as the M and L chains in the overview page.
