There is more than that. As the proverb states "Go is a 
territorial game". You win a game of go by wining points
and at the end one point is one point no matter where it 
is. This accumulative nature of go is in the base of why
UCT works so well having some known inappropriate features
(E.g. ladders and many tactics, where the best move is 
found very late, if at all.) I don't think this applies to
chess, but I have never tried.
