As Richard Teichmann said, "Chess is 99% tactics". If reading out sequences and applying relatively simple heuristics is all you are after, chess is the perfect game for you.
Go, while requiring some underlying tactics as well, involves a lot of large scale strategic thinking. As lmm said, you don't need to keep track of the score, just play the move you think gives the most points.

In a way, I think this is where AlphaGo draws its greatest advantage. Being a computer, it always knows exactly how well it is doing, since it can constantly be counting the board with perfect accuracy. With this ability, it is capable of playing the absolute "safest" moves, taking half a point here, half a point there, when it knows it is leading. Whereas a human might not even know if they're leading, forcing them to take "bigger" moves to get more points, since they can't as easily be accurate down to the 0.5 point precision.
