Define the strict Cartesian product-order (<) over matches, such that (i1, j1) < (i2, j2) iff i1 < j1 and i2 < j2. Defining (>) similarly, we can write m2 < m1 as m1 > m2.
If i1 <= j1 and i2 >= j2 (or if i1 >= i2 and i2 <= j2) then neither m1 < m2 nor m1 > m2 are possible; and m1, m2 are said to be "incomparable". Defining (
Given a product-order over the set of matches '''M''', a chain '''C''' is any subset of '''M''' where either m1 < m2 or m2 < m1 for every pair of distinct elements m1 and m2 of '''C'''.
