Intuitively, it makes sense to me that pooling layers would be useful in image/visual applications, since downsampling an image gives another image that's related to the original one. Downsampling a Go board, OTOH, gives nothing useful. (I mean, it's not devoid of information, but it gives up way more than a proportional amount of information, as compared with downsampling a photograph.)
