Yoda wasn't exactly trying to keep her from going anywhere, N. So to say he was outsmarted is a bit of a stretch.

I'm not so sure... You know, Dooku can defeat Asajj by one finger (Yoda: Dark Rendezvous), but if Asajj has some help (TCW with dark sisters(?)) he had a problems... Here is the same situation... Yoda can just crush GG and Vetress, but no when Dooku attack him (with some force, like lightning etc). IMHO ofc
Dooku was drugged and fighting THREE INVISIBLE LIGHTSABER WIELDING COMBATANTS!!! And he STILL won!!

Yoda blocks (almost effortlessly) Dooku's FL w/ one hand whil schooling GG and Ventress w/ the other. As mentioned before; they are non-factors.

Why not retain her then? Yoda wasn't there to 'capture' Ventress. It was a diplomatic mission. Yoda was simply telling her that it was in her best interest to surrender rather than get schooled in combat.

He had plenty of opportunity to capture/retain her if he wanted to, so.... NO!!

No he didn't. He was acting like a big shot and showing off and then she pulled an explosion on him that forced him to defend his allies and took advantage of that by running away. What opportunity did he have?

Which is why I said he was acting like a big shot and it backfired on him. Do you honestly think he'd let someone who has murdered jedi just walk away when he has them right there? They are fighting a war y'know.
Do you honestly think that Yoda couldn't have restrained her had he truly wanted to do so?

He had 45 seconds to do whatever he wanted. Once again, he wasn't there to capture Ventress.

He wasn't trying to forceably detain her during that time. He was trying to get her to surrender without a fight. Then she pulled the bomb on him and got away.
SMH. There's not enough that has been explicitly spelled out to make a good argument for either one of us. So with that being said - I win!!
