Best to get this on lower levels. You need to build a pattern which allows you to pop the middle segment, an dthen the rest all collapse around it. If you set up a colour patter like:

BBGGYYRRBBRRBRYGB

Then pop a Red ball in the middle where I've marked the bold RR:

BBGGYYRRBBRRBRYGB

The set of threes will blow up one after the other as follows:

BBGGYYRRBBBRYGB

BBGGYYRRRYGB

BBGGYYYGB

BBGGGB

BBB

Achievement unlocked!

All the best!

	This is easiest on the first level. I got down to only having Blue and Red balls left and just made a string of BBRRBBRRBBRRBBRRBBRR and hit one of the middle ones.

	I actually found this achievement to be extremely easy. On almost all of the early levels, I would just make a line (at the end of the level) of two different colors and explode them from the center. I think I got a chain of 11 once :) This statement is false.

Re: how do you get the 5 chain achievement?

	You might get it just playing through the game. That's how I got it without focusing on it. I'm up to 12-4 (10.8 million with 14 lives) on easy and got somewhere around level 8. I've been more concerned about keeping the level going. I was just expecting to eventually die out to end the game and then try for the 5-chain starting over. Good luck though.
