No, this gives a utility of 1 to every action. You have to find some way to explicitly encode for the diversity of options available to your future self.
If you're programming a chess AI, that would translate into a heuristic for the "expected utility" of a position as a function of the number of moves you can make in that position (in addition to also being a function of the number of pieces other player have).
