Hi Oliver Reinforcement learning is different to unsupervised learning. We used reinforcement learning to train the Atari games. Also we published a more recent paper (www.nature.com/articles/nature14236) that applied the same network to 50 different Atari games (achieving human level in around half).
Similar neural network architectures can indeed be applied to Go (indeed that was one of the motivations for our recent ICLR paper). However, training by reinforcement learning from self-play is perhaps more challenging than for Atari: our method (DQN) was applied to single-player Atari games, whereas in Go there is also an opponent. I could not guarantee that DQN will be stable in this setting.
