The CHAIN is not necessary, it just makes a person's life easier when defining controls. Instead of using CHAIN, you can just do control:SetBlah(lol) on every line.
As for how to position using SetAnchor, that really depends on what you need. Sometimes you need to position from the CENTER, sometimes you really need BOTTOM or BOTTOMRIGHT. Do whatever fits your need at the time. It's hard to visualize at first but you'll understand it better with practice
When in doubt, TOPRIGHT and TOPRIGHT (for self and relative) are good defaults since they are the most natural to the way the screen units are indexed.
