How well would the computer fare if it didn't have access to a library of human-played games, and only got self-study?

How well would the computer fare with a slightly different game -- something like go, but with differing rules? Would a smart human learn faster (in real time, or alternatively with comparable energy use) than an artificial reinforced deep learning system?

And who can make the most interesting new go-like game?

Perhaps this could be tested with chess or checkers, even.
