I considered the duel unfair because Torygg didn't have access to learning to use the Thu'um from the Greybeards, they're very selective and chose Ulfric at a young age to train with them. IMO, The thing about the Thu'um is that it's magic and was used by Ulfric for the reason that many nords disapprove of magic; he used it to gain an advantage over Torygg he might not have had otherwise. So it might not totally unfair, but not fair either.

If you had a sword and no Thu'um ability, and I shouted "fus ro dah" at you then stabbed you, would you think it fair?
