None is exaggerated in my opinion.
I dunno from go to chess besides that a strong chess player who i teached go told me there is use of intuition in the middle game of chess.
From chess to go, you have to stay focused on the whole image, to read sequences and try to find the best move, to deny your opponent plans at least.
They are different games, sure, but have some similarities in the way you handle them and these are very welcome abilities when i teach go to chess players.
