How the fuck did Obi Wan defeat Darth Maul?

Darth maul is a master combatant with a lot of experience.  He is incredibly well trained and very driven.  There is no doubt in my mind that Darth Maul was superior to Obi Wan in almost every way.  Darth Maul kills Jedi masters for fun and Obi Wan was just a Padawan when they fought.  How did Obi Wan triumph over Darth Maul?

Hubris.  Keep in mind that Maul had just slain a Jedi Master (and not just any Jedi Master, but one of the best swordsmen in the order) and now had his apprentice dangling by an outcropping over what may as well have been a bottomless pit.  He could pick off the younger Jedi at leisure if he so chose.  Rather than do the practical thing, Maul chose to gloat, basking in his victory.  Simply put, he let his guard down and let his arrogance get the better of him.
