"I'd say that the analogous question in backgammon would be, if I played a match and got a lot of easy decisions so that my error rate was much lower than it usually is, should I count that as "luck"? "

What about guessing correctly on decisions that were 50-50 in your mind? That seems possibly more analogous to me.
