What is a chain (US survey)?

It is a traditional length unit used in US land surveying, equal to 66 US survey feet, historically used for measuring land boundaries.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a theoretical length scale related to the electron's electrostatic self-energy and used in scattering calculations, not a literal size.

Why convert from chain (US survey) to electron radius (classical)?
