Mark Walker in the Baduk group in facebook took my list of why Go is so good/useful and turned it into a very nice poster. So, instead of writting all that again, I can laze of and just drop the image 
Now does chess do all that? On some level yes. Go just does most - if not all - of that better than chess due to the board being bigger, which changes the scope of quite a lot of things in this list.
