I happened to see this on a wikipedia bender recently! Only about 79% of games are theoretically winnable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondike_(solitaire)#Probability_of_winning … See this cited paper which describes experiments for both ordinary and "thoughtful" solitaire: http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~afern/papers/solitaire.pdf …

Hmm, the paper says 82%; the 79% number is from this webpage which explains that there's a difference in rules: http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/KlondikeSolitaireReport.html …
