View submission: How much is winning classic Klondike Solitaire based on skill as opposed to luck?
My quick search says 82% to 92% of the deals are winnable. As to how much luck vs skill you need to find that winnable series of moves? Who knows.

Winnable with backtracking/perfect information or winnable with an algorithm?
My guess is closer to 70% of Klondike is winnable without backtracking/perfect information. But just a guess.
I used to play quite a bit when young and getting a track record over 50% was very achievable, but more than 75% seemed to be heavily inspected by luck.
