Well.. Sorgo asked these two questions:
"If Anakin is such a gifted Swordsman, how come he was having so much trouble defeating Obi Wan during their long fight on Mustafar?
And if Anakin is a better swordsman, why did he lose the battle?"
Everybody would have quite a lot of trouble defeating a soresu master..
hmm.. Why did Anakin lose again.. Because he was a noob!!11!!111
It was because he went superstupid and thought he could make a jump.
Watch the goddamn movie already sorgo!!! (just kidding of course)

Well, Anakin is supposed to have evolved into a superior duelist than Obi-Wan. However, there would be no easy victory on either side. Anakin is the superior fighter, but Obi-Wan is the more tactical warrior, the one who will use anything and everything to his advantage. This ultimately grants him the ability to defeat enemies of greater power and ability than he.In the Duel of the Fates, after being hurled into a reactor core, he summoned his fallen Master's lightsaber to him, and slew Maul. He used the environment to his advantage. He took the situation at hand and turned it his favor.
In the Geonosis arena, he was up against an Acklay, weaponless. Grabbing a mounted drone's spear, he swatted it away, and proceeded to defend himself. He used weapons around him to his advantage.
In ROTS, he was hanging off a platform hundreds of meters above the ground, a mechanical monstrosity towering before him. A second more, and he would have been shocked, and fallen to his death. But, he yet again used the environment to his advantage, summoning to himself Grievous' blaster and firing into his exposed gut.
Just later, while being heavily assaulted by Anakin, he leaped away to the higher ground, gaining the advantage. He used Anakin's arrogance against him. While obviously resisting the unfathomable difficulty involved in this action, and hoping that Anakin would give in, he knew what needed to be done. And with his position as insurance, he did.
Obi-Wan, the great warrior that he is, oftentimes finds himself engaged against enemies that hold the advantage. Most Jedi in his postion would have died in each and every one of these trials. But using his wit, guile, and intelligence, and he came out of each and every one of them victorious. Nobody here can undermine Obi-Wan's victory by attributing it to Anakin's fatigue, or emotions clouding his mind, etc. Kenobi won, fair and square.
Word of Artoo, for the jawas of Artoo.

Well, Dooku didn't have much trouble with Kenobi as i recall.
Yes, he is a newb. He never accomplished any really significant killings. Hmm.... He didn't win square against Dooku, nor Mace and he got tooled by Kenobi.
So you mean Obi had trouble with Anakin instead of Anakin with Obi?
*laughing at Obi for having trouble with a so called noob*
About the Dooku thing, yes, that's very peculiar.. Dooku's fighting style was to tire out his opponents but he dealt with Obi Wan really easily.. Maybe Obi Wan made some kind of mistake or something.. Don't know, I should watch the movie again.
But I don't really care anymore what you think about this fight, because it's obvious you believe Anakin's a retard. There's no arguing with you anymore.
