Hardly a proper comparison.

Perhaps! But at least it's something we can attempt to discuss. As opposed to whether or not "luck" is a component in something, which is just a message-board dork argument.
You seemed to be the one who made the grand statement about it being a game of skills.

How is me saying that it's both skills and luck a message-board dork argument? Pray tell.

The point is that there are games that are not luck. Such as chess or go then there are games that are pure luck such as drinking games with highest card drink.

Since everybody already knows that games exist on a continuum from solvability to coin-flip randomness, you haven't contributed any insight to the discussion, but you're very intent on demonstrating to us all that you know that the continuum exists, and that at least 2 games you can name exist on the far end of that spectrum.
