He was hoping to kill the king of Gondor quickly so he could run and save Carn Dum. Glorfindel would have taken up time. The same thing happened with Gandalf: he had to scrap the fight to save his army.

Eowyn did "cheat." There is no way you can deny that the Witch-King was about to kill her if it weren't for the stealthy hobbit with the super-powered shiv.

No it wasn't really him though was it. He's simply a pawn of Sauron. There's no real innate power in him. But come on, to not notice a lousy hobbit sneaking up behind you. Oh and how is that "cheating" by the way? Did not the W-k use the foul beast as his ally? Then why not use Merry? Or were you expecting the niceties of war to be followed thus prohibiting sneak or rear attacks?
