Theq,t-Catalan numberenumerates integer partitions contained in antriangle by their dinv and external area statistics. The paper by Lee et al. (SIAM J Discr Math 32:191–232, 2018) proposed a new approach to understanding the symmetry propertybased on decomposing the set of all integer partitions into infinite chains. Each such global chainhas an opposite chain; these combine to give a new small slice ofthat is symmetric inqandt. Here, we advance the agenda of Lee et al. (SIAM J Discr Math 32:191–232, 2018) by developing a new general method for building the global chainsfrom smaller elements calledlocal chains. We define alocal opposite propertyfor local chains that implies the needed opposite property of the global chains. This local property is much easier to verify in specific cases compared to the corresponding global property. We apply this machinery to construct all global chains for partitions with deficit at most. This proves that for alln, the terms inof degree at least $$\left( {\begin{array}{c}n\\ 2\end{array}}\right) -11$$ are symmetric inqandt.
