ROTS Darth Sidious Vs. ROTS Obi-Wan Kenobi

You are surely kidding, right? Soresu deflects the opponent's blade, I would have thought you would know this?

Also, the kicks and punches on Mustafar were part of Kenobi "giving ground" and he did so willingly. He did so because "to strike Anakin down would fill his heart with ash." that much is made indisputably clear from the novelization..

Seriously, it is not as if Jedi are not trained to defend against unarmed attacks. If you don`t count Anakin getting a solid grip with his mech hand on Obi`s throat as breaching his defenses, your definition is not the same as mine.

If you were fighting a man who knew your every move and style, and whom you could not bring yourself to kill, do you think you'd give it everything you had? Do you think this murderous, powerful little bastard isn't?

Obi tried to split Anakin`s head in twain halfway trough the fight when he was knocked down.

He later cut of his three remaining limbs and watched him burn until he thought he was finished.

And was tortured for it.

True. But he did what he must.

Talk more to you later, not-friend. I really must be getting back to work.

Notice while his hand is on Kenobi's throat, Kenobi is still keeping Anakin's blade away from him, and he eventually escapes the attack, so yes, since Anakin, who was clearly trying to kill Kenobi, was unable to do so, yes, I consider Kenobi's defense unbreached.

As far as "all-out" goes: there is a moment in that duel when Kenobi held Anakin's life in his hands (from the novel) and he hesitates, allowing Anakin to recover. So yes, perhaps by the time he tries to cut anakin in half, he was going all out, but at least once, he allows Anakin to live.

Also, in that "split anakin in half" moment that you mentioned, it is entirely possible that Kenobi was going to bring the saber to his throat and stop, much like Mace did after beating Sidious. (not quite to his throat, but the part in the window when Sids is crawling backwards.)

Canon quote saying Anakin was really trying to kill Kenobi?

Yes, YES! It makes me want to find him, grab him by the throat with a large pair of ChannellLocks, choke him until he passes out, then stomp his face repeatedly with my old football cleats while screaming "baaaaacooooooooon!!!... Arrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
