Yet when Anakin loses to Obi-Wan you act like he had all sorts of advantages when it was plenty even, and Anakin knew Kenobi's style as well.At the very least, by that point, they are on the same exact level, they were both pretty emotionally unstable, both feeling betrayed by the other, so you can't use that as an excuse.
1.) The fact that they were "two complementary halves of one warrior" didn't only give Obi-Wan an advantage, but it made it more difficult for either of them to get through the defenses of the other and extended the duel.
2.) No, Obi-Wan was not as emotionally unstable as Anakin, or even close. Even if he was, it wouldn't have as dramatic of an effect on his power as it would Anakin.
3.) The fight wasn't even, Anakin still had a noticeable advantage throughout the fight. He lost because he was being a bonehead, not because the high ground scenario made sense.
You can make excuses all day, but the fight was still pretty even.
Learn to read before you try playing revolutionary here. Anakin's a stronger fighter than Obi-Wan; this isn't a question.

Maneuverability wise not more skilled with a light saber nor as powerful with the force. There are other factors, Amiga.
Dooku physically stomps Obi-Wan:
Dooku moves fast enough to knock out Obi-Wan with a single kick:
He moves faster than Obi-Wan:
"The two droids fired at Obi-Wan, but he batted their fired energy bolts back at them and cut them down as he moved fast for Dooku. Unfortunately, Dooku moved faster, extending his left hand toward Obi-Wan as he used the Force to lift the Jedi off his feet while at the same time constricting his throat."
