I just got this bike built up and had a a couple hundred miles on it. Today when looking at the chain I noticed a little bit of wear on the top left and bottom right of every link. Should I be concerned (pic included)? Thanks

I don't think what you are seeing is wear, but rather chamfering on the side plates which is an engineered feature to improve shift quality.

Personally, I only really worry about the stretching out in the length... or if I am having issues with the chain skipping.

get yourself a chain measuring device for piece of mind.

What you're seeing is engineering to facilitate faster and more sure shifts.
What brand chain is that, anyway?
