Care to elaborate how Tiin does this? Superior speed? Strength? A dueling match I'm unaware of? Just curious.

Strength, experience, and power pretty much sum up what Saesee's got on Kenobi. Compared to the pretty much nothing that Kenobi has on him, it's substantial enough.
Kenobi's probably faster, but Saesee's more skilled, and, as you said, stronger, more experienced, and more powerful.
Obi's demonstrated high levels of precognition as an apprentice, he's regarded as Jinn equal in combat in the last JA book I believe. And he has done incredibly well against Xanatos who nearly killed Jinn on Bandomeer and stalemated him as an apprentice.
Not to mention that he dueled Maul who had equal strength to Jinn .
Even as a padawan Obi, Jinn, Adi, Plo and some others(dont remember the rest)are regarded as the best of the Jedi. More impressively, Obi-Wan is stated to have mastered lightsaber combat as a padawan even before TPM.
Also by now Obi's dueled two notable duelists, fought god knows how many battles,I doubt experience is a factor in this. Force Power? Sure but I don't see anything else personally.
