I understand the argument not to be about the presence, or otherwise, of an element of skill but whether there is an element of chance.
There is no chance in chess, or Go, but there is a considerable element of chance in games of skill such as 21 (especially if you count cards) or bridge.
What I find really annoying is those TV/Radio phone-a-premium-number games of chance where you have to 'skillfully' answer a difficult question such as which is a Spanish city: Barcelona, Paris or Lisbon. These are in truth nothing but lotteries.
