"Of course, he's the chosen one," whispered Gillard. "The audience will want to see that manifest itself. There needs to be flashes of brilliance. He's more skilled than Obi-Wan. Anakin always attacks. He's better and he knows it, which means he's brash on occasion."
But the official website doesn't simply act as a chronicle of canon information; it serves many purposes, many of those purposes having nothing to do with canon facts whatsoever. This is just a behind the scenes article from a quick look at it, and Nick Gillard, being the stunt coordinator of the films, is not a canon authority.
Most members here take what Gillard has to say completely seriously, given his immeasurable involvement in the creation of everyone's fighting capabilities.

Anakin did better against Dooku than Obi-wan, should have been clear he is superior.

These things and more."
-Kenobi vastly outperforming and being noted as superior to Anakin by Ventress in the tcw movie when Anakin was a knight
-Kenobi stalemating Anakin both telekinetically and via the blade 5 months before rots in obsession
-Kenobi beating an enraged season 4 anakin in h2h
-Kenobi stalemating a hindered knightfall anakin while himself partially hindered and then stalemating a partially hindered knightfall anakin when unhindered
If Anakin has surpassed Kenobi as a padawan, then given his vastly superior potential, none of the above makes much sense.
That being said iirc gillard said somewhere else that while kenobi had moved up one tier from aotc(menaing he was a 7 back then), anakin has moved up 4 tiers from aotc which would put aotc anakin as a 5, and aotc kenobi as a 7.
hmm.
Looking at the interview, "mace windu's fighting abilities are second only to yoda", would that apply to dooku as well? He did do the swordfigthing for dooku to.
