Dooku strenght whats going on.(may contain spoiler)

Alright i read the novel fight between anakin and dooku and well dookus strength of the force in the book seemed extremely limited at first he was toying with obi and anakin then they were wooping him. And apparently dooku claimed to be stronger than he was in the duel to attack of the clones so how come he was defeated so easily. And even the slightest of moves seemed to take a great deal of effort it was laughable that he could say he was stronger.Also another thing that didn't make sense was him not using force lightening in the fight surely that would have helped him a lot in the battle and yes i do know some of the scenes in the novel are different from the scene's in the film.

AOTC- Anakin = Padawan

ROTS- Anakin = Jedi Knight (an chosen one)

Well in this fight Anakin wasn't such an idiot he and Obi-wan fight together at the beginning and when Obi-Wan get's knocked out Anakin uses is hate to defeat Dooku

Anyone can win a fight.
You are thinking of Yuh-Gi-Oh or Top Trumps or something...

But if we really have to reduce things to stats, it is patently obvious that Dooku underestimates how powerful Anakin has grown as a swordsman, as this article from the OS reveals:

The level is not necessarily an indication of the performer's talent, but it takes a truly gifted and physically skilled actor to play a powerful Jedi combatant. "Hayden Christensen is one of the best there is," says stunt coordinator Nick Gillard. "I've seen hundreds of sword fighters, people who do it for a living, and he leaves them all in his wake. His style has changed a bit since Episode II, when he was only a level seven. On this he's a level nine."

True but you havent stated the fact that dooku also claims to be stronger than before.

Also when does pysicall strenght come in a lightsaber battle as it does with dooku and anakin.

Dooku is getting old and Anakin is using his hate on Count Dooku once Obi Wan is dead and Palpatine is incouraging him.And he is fighting with all his might and power too end the war as they think Dookus death will end it.Plus Anakin has became the best Starfighter in the order and his experience through the Clone Wars has made him mighty and he is now a Jedi Knight and they belive he may be the Chosen One.Anakin does use his rage and hate too defeat Count Dooku in the end and thats what the powerful key of the DarkSide is.

You may want to rephrase that, methinks 🙄

Doesnt the book kinda say they are messing with him too, dont they both change styles mid-fight and start to turn the tables.
