Mace had Sidious begging for life and don't say he was acting cause Anakin was struggling between good and evil and Sidious wouldn't have taken the risk of getting killed.
Oh bullshit.
Palpatine risked his own skin (literally) to turn Anakin. He was acting the whole time. Watch the duel again and pay close attention to Sidious' face when Mace and Anakin are arguing. His eyes go from Pain &Anguish to normal eyes sneaking glances at Anakin and Mace.

Mace gave chance for Sidious to give up when he said 'by the Jedi Council you are under arrest' and Sidious went and did force lighting which was good enough reason for me.
Otherwise there would be no duel, Anakin would have stormed in on Palpatine and Mace talking, which would have done nothing to help force Ani to the dark side.
The duel between those two was inevitable,

Whatever,
New topic-
Did Obi-Wan and Anakin seem a lot stronger when they faced each other at the end.
First off, Anakin was filled with hate, which forced Obi-Wan to bring his A game to the fight.
Secondly, they had been training together and probably sparring with each other for 13 years. They knew every last move that the other one had. It was an even match.

You don't think that Anakin and Obi-Wan couldn't fight like that when they teamed up on Dooku?
No I don't.
Neither of them knew all of Dooku's moves, it is unwise to just throw yourself full force into a fight when you are unprepared for what they may throw at you.
If they had fought Dooku on many occasions and had a chance to study his techniques, then yes, they could take him on like they did in "The Duel".
You know that at one point in Oni/Ani duel they were choking one another, they dropped their lightsabers and started fist fighting for a bit and to begin with how would Obi know that Anakin didn't learn a new style when he became a Jedi? It is possible to learn a new style that you may find better then your old one and master it during the Clone Wars. Plus you have to think that Obi and Anakin say each other mostly in fights with their enemies had blasters and a lightsaber is no blaster.

He was a Jedi you know. Yoda could have taught them how Dooku fought since Yoda trained Dooku.
Yoda fights with a totally different form of combat than Dooku, that would not work. Besides they have lightsaber instructors teach them how to fight, not always their Masters.

Anakin could fight Dooku the way he did during the duel, you could see this by how fast he won after Dooku pissed him off.Obi-Wan was able to use his knowledge of Ani's moves to stay alive long enough to let Ani make a mistake.
It wasn't necessarily his knowledge of Dooku's moves though, it was his hate and how Dooku was 3 times the age of Anakin. Anakin just one upped him.
