Chess shows up in popular culture because it’s more popular. Everyone has heard of Chess. You don’t have to explain Chess. If you did have to explain it, its rules and concept are very easy.

Go, and a lot of modern heavy strategy games are way more complex than Chess.

While go is more complex to play than chess, the rules are vastly simpler. There are -- roughly, depending on who's counting -- three rules.
