DROP (or REJECT) packets which fail early checks if possible :

-A sshrate -m <!check1> -j DROP
-A sshrate -m <!check2> -j DROP
-A sshrate -m <check3> -j ACCEPT

or put all checks in the same rule if possible :

-A sshrate -m <check1> -m <check2> -m <check3> -j ACCEPT

or cascade chains :

-A sshrate -m <check1> -j check1ok
-A check1ok -m <check2> -j check2ok
-A check2ok -m <check2> -j ACCEPT
