Re: Darth Krayt vs. Darth Tyranus (Sabers)
A'Sharad did reasonably well against Obi-Wan while he was infinitely pre-prime. He was stated to have spent the century after "perfecting his combat technique," after killing "countless" (or was it "thousands?"😉 of opponents. Most prominently, Reborn Krayt defeated Cade Skywalker pretty damn easily by tapping him on the chest with dark transfer. Krayt being a Jar'kai wielder could have easily swapped his palm out for the lightsaber in his hand.
Cade himself has got a laundry list of impressive lightsaber feats, so I'm not sure Dooku would as easily defeat him. I would also say Krayt is more powerful than Dooku, which typically factors into your skill as a duelist.
I think a case can be made for Krayt winning, for sure, although it'd be a stellar fight.

Define easy. My calcs put their fight to at least 2 minutes, iirc.

Krayt didn't look like he was very troubled at all. If we assume that everything we see in the break between those two pages is happening after the first page and before the second, rather than concurrently with them, then yes, the fight would be quite long. If not, the fight seems quite decisive. Krayt also didn't want to kill Cade, he was trying to recruit him, so there's that.

I don't see why we should assume differently.

Well if you look only at the end of the Anakin vs Kenobi fight it also looks decisive. And not wanting to kill someone pretty much only stops you from decapitating them. Injurying/disarming someone is far easier than outright killing them so I never really bought these excuses.
Being conflicted is one thing (in case of Yoda vs Dooku, or Mace vs Bulq for example), having plans for someone is quite different.
At the time A'Sharad fought Obi-Wan he was firmly in the 2nd tier of elite duelists i.e: anyone not named Yoda, Sidious, Mace or "zone Anakin". If you consider Dooku, Maul and Obi-Wan at the top and Quinlan Vos, Savage, Ventress, A'Sharad etc. below them(but still in the same tier), then Vong Krayt should take this based on scaling alone.

A'Sharad was on par with Savage and Ventress and in the same tier as Dooku and Maul? Let's not get ridiculous, all those four absolutely murder him based on feats and accolades.
Look what happened to Old Master Maul in similar circumstances. I'd argue that if it meant protecting Luke's life, Obi-Wan would beat anyone on that list including Dooku.
