Anakin isn't stupid just rushes into things without thinking. If anything Anakin should be declared a genius considering he made his own pod racer when he was 10 but he's just...doesn't think through and that's why Obi-Wan and Dooku were able to defeat him and that's why Malak will defeat him.
Mechanic skills aren't going to help in a fight with Malak.

uh, I think that he was saying he was extremely intelligent - not necessarily mechanical. building a pod likely covers a series of subjects; science, mechs, engineering, schematics, mathematics etc. Building one also means he was very physically fit for his age, and only got stronger.
besides that I do agree: Anakin definitely got smarter in the OT.

It still means nothing in combat. I don't think Newton or Da Vinci or Einstein could kick The Governator's ass.

Malak wins by quite a bit. If this is ROTS Anakin, though, he could probably last 30 seconds if he stayed calm and focused and didn't get ignorant and overconfident.
No what I'm trying to say is that if Anakin used his mind in battle instead of rushing into everything he could have defeated Obi-Wan but he was stupid.
Oh of course, against Obi he would have won with a little more strategy. But against Malak, planning or not, he's going to lose.
