That's why Anakin defeated Dooku? Things aren't always what they seem.
Anakin was arrogant, and that is why he fell. According to Gillard, he was a Level 9, while Obi-Wan was a Level 8. Granted, I consider them nigh equals, or else Obi-Wan would have been slain. But it was because he knew Anakin so well -- and because his former apprentice was almost comically arrogant -- that the Jedi came out of it on top.
1)Yoda
2)Mace
3)Obi-Wan
4)ROTS Anakin
5)Qui-Gon Jinn
6)Cin Drallig
7)Shaak Ti
8)Kit Fisto
9)Saesee Tiin
10)Agen Kolar
Note: These last three must have been pretty good otherwise they wouldnt have been taken to fight Sidious and these are all jedi if you didnt notice yet

Obi-Wan wasn't trying to kill Anakin and Anakin was trying to kill Obi-Wan. If Obi was trying to kill Ani he would have pushed him into the lava instead of walking away. Not to mention Obi's form is based on defense and Ani's is offense.
Obi-Wan says this just before the beginning of his duel. He is prepared to what is necessary, which is killing Anakin.
At the end of the duel, by the way, he thought he'd killed Anakin. This is revealed in Dark Lord. It's also common sense. I doubt that he expected Anakin to survive losing three limbs and immolation.
Obi-Wan also said "send me to fight the Emperor I can't kill Anakin" or something like that to Yoda. Plus he had to kill Anakin he didn't want to kill Anakin.

Why the hell is Kenobi above Dooku? Did you not see Kenobi get f*cked up by a platform AND have a few nice scars from Episode II? Why the hll is Kenobi above Mace? WHY IS SIDIOUS ABOCE MACE?

When it comes to Lightsaber Dueling, the Best Swordsman doesn't always win. This was proven when Anakin handed Dooku's ass to him. Dooku wasn't fighting right and Anakin did physically grab Dooku in order to win but the point being Dooku got his shit f*cked over and he was a Level nine.
Dooku could hand Kenobi's ass to him, yet Anakin defeated Kenobi.
Anakin was a better duelist than Kenobi but when it came down to it, Anakin was a stupid little baligerant shithead who got f*ckin' pwned.
And Kenobi didn't think Anakin was dead. HE WAS SPEAKING TO HIM FOR CHRIST SAKES! He looked away when Anakin began to catch flames.
Just like Dooku is a better Duelist than Anakin... But he f*cked up! Bottom line.
