How was Albus Dumbledore able to defeat Grindewald who had the elder wand when it is supposed to be the wand that wins all duels?

Answer: I think, because Dumbledore stole the wand from Grindelwald before the duel, so he won because he took it from him by force...
Answer: I think the wand was supposed to win all duels, but - although it was a very powerful wand - it didn't quite live up to this expectation.

∙ 14y agoits simpler remember the first book when Harry's buying his wand "the wand chooses the Wizard" its simple to think that the elder wand did not choose to have grindelwald as its owner thus not giving him the full "power" to use it or some think like harry were it "worked" but not like it was/ should have
Grindelwald was never the true master of it ... He stole it from Gregorovitch and when Dumbledore defeated him as if he had a normal wand, the Elder Wand saw the power and Potential of one of the Greatest wizards in the world and chose to give its allegiance.
