Sasuke made a mockery of two of Itachi's greatest tecniques: Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. You don't do that with luck or even strategy, it requires talent and strength.

A few questions. In the very end, Sasuke was completely and utterly helpless, right? At that time, Itachi could have decided to kill him instead of implanting the mangekyou tehcniques, right? So even a greatly weakened Itachi could defeat Sasuke, right?
Also:
- Sasuke did not have the edge in Ninjutsu. His Katon jutsu was able to overpower Itachi's, but since Itachi had Amaterasu he was able to overpower Sasuke. Thus, Itachi has the edge in Ninjutsu.
- He doesn't have the edge in Genjutsu. He can't produce anything on the level of Tsukiyomi, meaning Itachi has better genjutsu. Sasuke is simply able to defend himself from them.
- Also, they were about even in Taijutsu as Itachi was "severly injured", showing what "definitely was not his true power".
