It takes all of 30 seconds to count the links, and then you know its right.

Measure twice... cut once...

Ahh I'm just fucking with you. I have honestly NEVER counted a chain. BTW I know you know this but,because of where you cut it,it actually eliminates the length of two links,impossible to screw up IMHO.
