Even if I suppose that we know to evaluate only checkmate in chess more time can help because knowing the final result of the game one ply earlier can help in part of the cases to find the right move. I know nothing about go but more time should always help to computers and the only question is how much. I can understand that the benefit is clearly less than chess and I guess that evaluating only checkmate in chess may do the benefit from doubling the speed smaller but there still is going to be a benefit that can be proved.
