The way chess is different from life is that it’s inherently adversarial; reducing your opponent’s freedom of action is as much of a win as increasing yours (especially when you can reduce your opponent’s options to “resign” or “face checkmate”).
And I don’t think that heuristic applies without serious exceptions in life either.
