That's why neither could penetrate the others defence. Confirmed by Gillard.
Plus Soresu is the best form to handle Skywalkers raw power. They are equally skilled but Skywalker is much stronger which Soresu compensates for by giving ground.
Kenobi also fights better on his own when he is fully on the defence.
But none of that changes that ROTS Skywalker was more powerful than Dooku, and on the same level as Windu and Sidious in Saber Prowess.

What's the point and purpose of Soresu?
It's to handle just that, offensive and powerful Saber attacks. Any source describing Soresu will confirm this.
Soresu would also be the best form to handle Juyo.
If you want to just stalemate your opponent in Sabers and draw the fight out, and if your opponent is strong and powerful, then yeah Soresu is the best form for that obviously. And Kenobi is The Master of Soresu.

Well then, I just asked this because as you know there is a part in RotS says Djem-So's kinetic power is a trouble maker for Makashi's elegant style. Which is a official source.

Only HEAD TO HEAD and WHILE FIGHTING A SECOND OPPONENT.
But you know the same damn source says Dooku's mobility was a trouble maker for Djem So's Lack of Mobility right?
And you know that same damn source makes it clear as Day that Dooku lost to Skywalker because Skywalker was just too damn Powerful right?
And you know the same damn source specifically points out that Kenobi and Skywalker knew each others moves Inside Out right?

🙂Still Dooku's mobility was not part of his makashi, or I have a bad memory. He just changed his tactic there because he was losing bad.
And why knowing each other moves inside out is an advantage for Kenobi, but not for Anakin ? That's also make no sense.
The fact that Makashi doesn't have that lack of mobility means it's wielder can take advantage of Djem So's weakness.
Your right he had to change tactic, because he was fighting the wrong fight. Kenobi and Skywalker duped him with fake forms. But still saying he was losing badly up to the point where he kick slammed Skywalker and choked out Kenobi is silly.
Because Knowing each others moves inside out makes it a completely different fight. And therefore not comparable to other fights.
Gillard is the one that confirmed neither of them could penetrate each others defence due to their intimate knowledge of each others moves. Not me. The ROTS Novel also emphasises how well they knew each others moves, clearly because it's relevant to the fight.

I've noticed a quote from RotS Novel, from Windu, which says Obi-Wan had a better chance than Anakin to defeat Grievous, and then Obi-Wan didn't mention Anakin's name with Windu & Yoda.
He didn't say better chance than Anakin. He said better chance than Any Jedi.
That would include Yoda and Mace, which is obviously silly.
Seems like you've never read the full novel and just grab quotes you like from here and there.
Let me know when you notice the quote from Windu saying "Skywalker is arguably The Most Powerful Jedi Alive.."

No I've read it but I just noticed that now. As for last comparison of Obi-Wan, that is why I mentioned that. Obi-Wan says Yoda and Windu's name but not Anakin's, because he is also inconsistent.
Skywalker is arguably the most powerful Jedi alive, and he is still getting stronger. But he is not stable. You know it. We all do. It is why he cannot be given Mastership.
Since you use RotS novel as the most potent proof for your arguments, you should be aware of this passage in the novel:
"This is Anakin Skywalker:
The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior. On the ground, in the air or sea or space, there is no one even close. He has not just power, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace.
He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it."
