I think the proof that BG is a game of skill is in our hands for about 20 years. The robots, either self-taught like TD-Gammon or trained like XG, are empirical proof that BG is predominantly a skill game. Because, if BG is more of a game of luck, it would be possible for a predominant number of human players to beat robots. To prove that robots can beat human players more we can show robot ELO ratings in some sites like FIBS. Also we can give the example of a special experiment in the book 'Learning from the Machine: Bill Robertie versus TD-Gammon'
