Yes, sure, fair point.
I was talking about strategy games as such - but you are right that there's large elements of execution skill in many games, even in an RTS like starcraft, which is also fun to compete on.
Yes. Though even games that have dominant pure strategies in theory, like chess or go can be fun to compete in. Because humans don't have access to the optimal strategies, execution skill and gambling creep in.
(Gambling in the sense: You can create more or less complicated situations. There's more or less apparent entropy in the game you are playing then.)
