There is no such thing as a 100% skill based game. Even in chess given a very strong field where there are 8 players who only make 1 blunder each in total, and player A is the opponent when B-H make their blunders and so A wins 6 and blunders 1, is that not "lucky"?
no. more skill = less blunders.

here's a hypothetical situation:
-2 players who play chess perfectly, it doesn't matter what moves are played, the game is played perfectly. (played with 100% skill)
-players play one time as white, one time as black
If someone can point out the factor luck in this situation then please be my guest...
Asian Game of Go played on board 19 x 19 lines is at least the equal of
Chess as a game of skill and not luck. It has several advantages over Chess:
over-all strategy as important as tactics -- can be handicapped without distorting game -- one mistake (even one blunder) does not decide game in that blunderer can recover and still win.

Here's another hypothetical. 2 computer programs that pick a random move from the list of all legal moves in each position play each other. Whenever one program wins the game via checkmate, how is that not due to chance?
This hypothetical is just as absurd as that one.

Your hypothetical situation has no applicability to what happens when two imperfect humans play each other.
As I wrote previously (in case you missed it): It [chess] is 100% skill-based, but in practice there is an element of luck or chance.

For those who didn't get the joke, David Shenk wrote The Immortal Game. I don't know if that was a publisher's error or a photo-shopped typo.
Nim is a lot more skill based than chess.
chess is a memoy game with little skill.
Chess is logic and mathematics, statistics imo
My skills include the above ^^

Long Range Competitive Shooting (1000m Silhouette). That's a game of the utmost skill... You have to compensate for heat, humidity, wind (which changes in different directions over 1000m) and even the Coriolis Effect (the rotation of the earth affects the path of the bullet at such long ranges). Not to mention your choice of bullet loads, twist rate and material of the barrel, heartbeat and breathing control, etc... The list goes on. I'd say that is THE ultimate game of skill.
Correct.
no, it isnt just skill, its mostly tactical
