Looks to me the difference is
走一步,看一步 seems like the previous step forward is not calculated - or bo heng.
走一步,算一步 to me feels like the previous step was planned - therefore continuously doing so will reach the target. The former should also reach the same target but maybe through much time wasted in correction.

Similar to the term Just In Time (JIT) vs Just on Time.

人生如棋,走一步看一步是庸者,走一步算三步是常者,走一步定十步是智者。​
