Forum:Power of the Elder Wand

I am currently having an explosive argument with my friend about who would win in a duel between Voldemort during his prime and Dumbledore in his. She argued that Voldemort was close to his prime during Order of the Phoenix when they duelled in the Ministry and Dumbledore manage to keep up with him despite his age. I then argued that the only reason to why he was able to do so was because he had the Elder Wand, amplifying his magic. She then argued that Dumbledore defeated the 'unbeatable' wand when it was in the possession of Grindelwald,saying that his wand at that point would have been just as powerful and that the reasons to why he kept using it were that he loved the Hallows and to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, which I didn't disagree with but I argued that it was the most powerful wand, more powerful than any other so my question is that did the Elder Wand cause Dumbledore to become more powerful and if the wand was unbeatable, how did Dumbledore defeat it?
