AlphaGo is still based around layers of 3×3 local convolutions.

That represents a strong assumption about locality in the network design. I would expect AlphaGo to perform poorly on the game "Go with the vertices randomly permuted".

Well they didn't use inception. If their inception units have, say, a 7x7 conv, then ladders will probably be found much earlier.
