chain break? chain fix?

I got a cheap chain break. I have managed to break a chain but, can it reform one?
I have a master link but, it is thick and hitting a chain guard plus that is weak.

myb, if I don't push the pins all the way out?

It depends on the chain. Newer Shimano chains require a special pin every time you want to connect a chain together.

parktools.com is your best bet for help.
