Did Obi Wan Stop Himself From Killing Anakin?

Off topic, but is there a reason Anakin didn't either:

(1) Jump like 50 feet above Obiwan to the point where he was the beyond the reach of his light saber or

(2) Jump to the low ground and safely continue dueling?

I get that Anakin was not fighting at his best and that Obiwan Soresu, but c'mon now . . .

What is your point?
