The fact is that chains should never be tight, and the tension or, more properly, minimum slack is set at the tightest position on an eccentric chainring. Feel free to center the ring as well as possible, which will improve things, but even if you don't, the system will run fine with varying slack, as long as there's minimum slack (not tension) at the tightest point.
