I think the interesting question is not which game someone is stronger at, but whether there’s any correspondence between relative chess skill and relative go skill. E.g., are players who are strong at chess also strong at go? does the strategic thinking of one lend some skill transfer to the other?
I think @bugcat’s poll above was prompted by discussion in this thread: When a Go player tries Chess
To summarize,
@Clossius1 posted a gif of himself making a blunder in chess, to which @Allerleirauh replied,
…with the implication that the strategic thinking gained from becoming a strong dan in go will make learning chess easy. bugcat said that he’d played thousands of games of chess, but was still a long ways from reaching 2000. Allerleirauh replied that that was because he wasn’t as strong as Clossius.
Is there any basis in the assertion that being a strong dan in go will help someone to easily reach a rating of 2000 in chess?
