I have not thought about limiting the area with other means than the chain itself. What I have though is a method, how to add some concave parts to the polygon, but here things are more or less about pattern recognition and goes too complicated.

In this particular case it could be used, but generally, to qualify to a challenge, you practically need on an arbitrary limit. If it happens that the limit is too low, as it is this case, you just rise the limit until it is appropriate.
