What about Trisscar being with Kurda while she practised sword skills? Triss was there to clean up the debris from Kurda's bladework, so clearly she had already been witness to Kurda's fighting style on a regular basis, while Kurda had never had the opportunity to see Triss's until the final encounter. That, paired with Triss's determination to wreak vengeance on Kurda, could have been something toward a victory for Triss. Lol that idea is still stretching it XD
