The chain should have 1 to 2 inches slack (loose movement)(disclaimer: from memory, the precise amount is somewhere in the manual though). Mostly, slack is not constant - when you turn the rear wheel, at one point you will have almost no slack, and somewhere else you can have 1.5 inches slack.
Better a little too loose than too tight.
