I know. But read my comment.

That's because she thought she had always won. Major antagonists are always very cocky and overconfident, so much that they don't go all-out against their enemies. Like how Flim and Flam let anypony help in the contest because they were so overconfident they would win anyway. Or how Discord didn't even put up a fight towards Celestia and Luna the first time they beat him because he was so overconfident. It's the same with Chrysalis. Supervillains always do that. They give the heroes advantages because they are so sure they will win, which is their weakness.
