It might be plausible to consider the extremely large amount of sensory information humans are hooked up with. Computers generally only have very limited amount of sensory information, not to mention the inferiority of electronic sensors compared to the highly sophisticated biological ones.

I'd like to see this put to the test in a situation where sensory information is of no benefit: strategy games.

Alpha Zero got to be so strong at chess through millions of games of self-play. I would like to see how it would fare with only one hundred games, against a human chess beginner with one hundred games under his/her belt.
