Yep, global pooling is also how KataGo already handles multiple board sizes
with a single model. Convolution weights don't care about board size at all
since the filter dimensions have no dependence on it, so the only issue is
if you're using things like fully-connected layers, and those are often
easily replaceable with global pooling and convolution, making the whole
net board-size-independent. (Although you still need to train/finetune
appropriately).

Nice to see the same idea finally making its way around in papers too.
Along with all the experiments that projects like LC0 and such are trying
in different runs, it feels like the state of formal published research in
this area is often one step behind what major projects are already
successfully doing.
