It's going to be impossible to define "better" here because that's a subjective opinion. But I will make a couple statements.
In most of the world, Chess is much more popular. However in China, Go is much more popular. In 1997 an AI manages to beat the Chess world champion for the first time. It wasn't until 2016 that AI managed to beat the Go champion.
That implies that Go has more permutations and is a more "complex" type of game that is harder for computers to brute force. Does that make it better? Up to you.
I prefer Chess but likely just because I grew up playing it. If I were Chinese I would likely prefer Go. I've tried playing Go before but couldn't get into it because I didn't understand it fully.
