I don't use a chain to prevent snags, I tie the rope to a clip, then clip to anchor.
Chain also helps prevent the line from coming into contact with the wreck and/or rocks, which can cut/fray the line. With the chain on you will normally have your contact with the wreck/rocks and chain and not the wreck/rocks and line.
