I am a Stratego player, and the answer is no, not really. In fact, DeepNash won 30⁄30 (100%) against Probe, which won Computer Stratego World Championship three times in the past.
But I think Paul is not wrong. While Stratego is mostly skill not luck (it’s not like you are drawing cards and you need good cards, there is zero randomness, just hidden information), there is a bit of rock-paper-scissors involved. Novices can’t beat experts, but I do think experts can beat God.
