Well, seeing as all the mixed opinions about the Lucas quote, I'm making this thread just for people to say what they think. I'm probably gonna keep myself out of this one, to busy at the moment!
Damn, saw this one just a little more below! Oh well, guess this one makes a fresh start about the quote thing! And 1 + score for my posts....

I don't see Anakin having any chance of defeating Sidious. He lost to Obi-wan, who got raped by Dooku, Sidious' inferior. I'd like to quote LS on the issue, "Actually, Lucas says only Mace and Yoda can compete with Palpatine. Period.
Anakin is not them."

He had never been instructed to lose. He was told that it was a test, and that if Anakin somehow got the better of him Sidious would interfere. Although it is true that Dooku was never meant to kill Anakin, which might have been the point you were trying to make.
i seem to recall "fighting for his life", and "treat it as my crowning achievement". It's been settled that Anakin won fairly, due to being superior. There's absolutely no point in "testing" someone and not giving it your all. If you believe the contrary to be true, you're an idiot.
By the way, prove to me that Dooku was to let Anakin capture him.
Read the ROTS novel. I can post some quotes from it tomorrow but I won't be able to get to it tonight. In it Dooku was thinking about the plan Sidious had come up with that had him killing Obi-wan and then faking a loss to Anakin. The test by Sidious on Anakin was not to see if he was strong enough to defeat Dooku, but to see if he was strong enough to kill an unarmed prisoner; a Dark Side thing no matter how you look at it.

Anakin by the time of ROTS was the best lightsaber dualist ever, up until that point, but Dooku still had better Force powers.
Sidious can easily defeat Anakin, like in the place like the Senate, but if Anakin can force a lightsaber duel in a close room, with no objects to throw for Sidious, Anakin has a god chance of wining.

says who, anakin is ONE of the best duelists not the absolute best
Sidious can just simply pull anakin out of "the zone" to cloud his "crystal mind" and thus kill him with the lightsaber
