In the context of snow it would be stupid to not place the chains on the driven wheels but there is an element of sense to what you did.
Let me explain, if the front tyres in a fwd car has far more grip/tread than the rear tyres then the chance of the rear swinging wide and actually overtaking the nose is greatly increased, likewise under braking into a corner the same thing can happen. Now this is a extreme example and only will happen if the rear tyres are near bald but then the same thing could easily be compared to snow conditions and chains on the driven wheels without the same on the rear.
Lesson over.
