Chain tension varies at different points.

When the right pedal is at the 9 o'clock position, it is relatively tight, but when it is at the 3 o'clock position, it has a bit of play, probably 1 - 1.5 inches of play. What could be wrong?...

Is a rear brake really necessary?

Been debating taking mine off my bike since I don't like the look of it at all. Considering that you can skid/backpeddle as well as use the front brake in my case, is it really necessary?
