The move at the beginning of B2 is usually called a "men's

I deliberately didn't call it a "men's chain", which it of
course is :) because I see that term used ambiguously as to
whether the chainee starts on the left or on the right of the
chainer; which hands the chainees take to start the chain; and
also who backs up in the courtesy turn.
