I think in any normal length match, XGR would outplay the very best human players. I am not sure that that is the case for the best chess program against the best chess player in the world. (In a way, this is also not a fair comparison, because the BG software is not run a supercomputers, and I think the chess programs were).

For an unlimited session without cap, same as above. I don't think against XGR it is a viable strategy to steer for snake-like positions.

Bridge - I cannot tell. I used to play bridge many years ago, but weakly. I think computer bidding was already quite good then.

American checkers is in the right place. International checkers has not been solved, but computers can win against top players, should be higher than chess on the chart, but below American checkers. There is a Canadian version on 144 squares, also played in Sri Lanka, that I know little about except that it takes a long time.
