The only negative is that my fifth strength (significance) holds me back a bit, since I don’t consider chess important enough to devote much time to it. I have a hard time seeing chess as anything more than a mild diversion, something I might try while taking a break from more serious pursuits.

And in that aspect, Go prevails:

There's also the fact that your fifth strength actually would
help you playing Go, since figuring out which areas on the board are significant and which you can sacrifice is so vital to playing well.
