[Star Wars] if general grievous was a really good fighter but susceptible to the force from higher up jedi warriors, couldn't Dooku or Palpatine stand back and protect him using their force?

Well if he can't use the force and he has a lot of trouble fighting obi wan or really any experiences Jedi, why doesn't he get some force backup from a force user on his side?

Well yeah, they probably could. But that's like sacrificing your Queen or a Bishop for a pawn. Grievous is that pawn for Dooku; he was made to be disposed of by Palpatine. And while he may not have a "Darth" title, he was as much a Sith as a non-force user could ever be. In *Clone Wars,* Dooku gives the location of Grievous secret base to the Jedi as a test for Grievous. And in *Revenge of the Sith,* Palpatine gives up Grievous (and Dooku, btw)  as soon as its convenient for his plans. And most importantly, if Grievous can't operate as an anti-jedi agent without someone there to hold his hand, his Sith masters won't shed a tear.
