Is it the case that playing the games are effectively a way of asking and answering questions, specifically ‘do I win if I do this’?

That wouldn't qualify as 'unexpected' in any way. The system's ability to express any questions it might have is severely curtailed by the limitations of its inputs and outputs.

And yet the go games had some very unexpected and creative plays, so if the inputs and outputs were language based are we simply moving the goalposts for what is considered 'unexpected'?

It is more a case of moving the goalposts back where they belong, I believe. The original moving of the goalposts was in calling any 20th-century technology AI.
