Chainlength on 2*10 drivetrain

I have always used the 'chain around the big and big plus 2 links' school of thought on my 'normal' 3*10 setups.

 

Is this still valid for 2*10 or is there a better way?

Yes, you use the same method for road and mountain bikes.

Cant see why that wouldn't work.

 

Thats the angle which would require the most amount of chain length, so it gives you room for error.

OK don't want to sound stoopid (OK probably about to do that ...) but also for 2*10 MTB drivetrain?

Also want to know if a 10sp Ultegra chain is OK for a 10sp MTB setup?

Yes, i'm using a dura-ace 3*10 chain on my MTB.

Even for a 2x10 unicycle.

Looking good is NB too, just in case someone looks at my chain! ;)
