I know these posts were done before the comprehensive rulebook was revealed, but for any new players reading in the future, I'd like to clarify that each player can only play one card per chain. Seems they changed their mind on how chains work. However, multiple chains are allowed to be started per play timing, so double Dragoenergy is possible, they just have to resolve once at a time. Example:

Player A declares an attack on Player B's monster

Play Timing for Counter abilities begins, with priority going to the turn player

Player A passes priority Player B casts Dragoenergy (Chain Link 1) Player A casts Abra Cadabra! (Chain Link 2) Chain Link 2 resolves, nullifying the Dragoenergy in Chain Link 1 Chain Link 1 does nothing due to nullification

Play Timing for Counter abilities begins again

Player A passes priority Player B decides to cast a second Dragoenergy (Chain Link 1) Player A passes Chain Link 1 resolves, applying the effect of Dragoenergy to target Armordragon

Play Timing for Counter abilities begins again

Player A passes priority Player B passes priority

The current Play Timing for Counter abilities now ends, and play moves onto the next step in the attack phase, which is determining whether the attack hits or not. With Player B's Dragoenergy, now Player A's attack doesn't hit!

Then, another Play Timing for Counter abilities begins again.

Afterward, the next step in the battle phase begins, which is where Counterattack and Double Attack abilities activate. It's during this phase that Player B's Counterattack from Dragoenergy will activate.
