[Star Wars: Attack of the Clones] Dooku says to Yoda that their fight cannot be decided with the knowledge of the force but via lightsaber combat. Does this imply he was as strong as Yoda in the force? Or was he just trying to get Yoda to stop using the force?

I got a bit confused with the scene. Surely Yoda can wreck his shit up anytime right? Is Yoda holding back? Is Dooku trying to change the subject so to speak by making Yoda fight with a lightsaber instead of the force? Or did he really master the control of the force greatly?

Aside from the films I don't really know of Dooku's skills so forgive me. I just felt that when Dooku said the combat can only be meaningful with a lightsaber fight, he meant the force feats were useless since they might be on the same level. 

Someone please explain.

Against just about anyone else, Dooku's force lightening would have been enough  end the fight. Yoda blocked his attack with his bare hands so clearly Dooku's skill with the force was not able to defeat Yoda, so he switches to a lightsaber because Dooku was also a master at lightsaber dueling. This doesn't necessarily mean he was stronger than Yoda with the force, just that his offensive force tactics were ineffective against Yoda.
