Why were Voldermort and Dumbledore practically equal in OoTP while Dumbledore had the Elder Wand? Surely he should have owned?

-I found this on Harry Potter wiki:

In Dumbledore's commentary on The Tale of The Three Brothers, in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, he các bình luận that the Elder Wand, while being immensely powerful, has never been "unbeatable", as it has been beaten hundreds of times in the constant changing hands of its owners. For example, Grindelwald, though he mastered the Wand, was still defeated bởi Dumbledore.

bởi the same token, the Elder Wand does not ensure the victory of its master in a duel, nor render him hoặc her invincible; Dumbledore mastered the Wand bởi defeating Grindelwald, but was still unable to decisively defeat Lord Voldemort in their duel in the Ministry of Magic.

If he didn't have to worry about Harry, and Voldemort didn't have horcruxes, than Dumbledore would have won.
