Having a slightly larger reserve of chakra need not guarantee a victory .. Situational and battle strategy, tactics, knowledge and intelligence, life force and recovery, techniques used etc...and a lot other factors also counts... and I believe that's where Madara has the upper hand.. so one cant just draw a conclusion saying that x has more chakra than Y, therefore X would win... I'd rather bet on a ruthless experienced and intelligent formidable beast lather than a dumb princess with slightly more chakra... and in the context of the question asked, the sage is highly experienced and wise, yet Madara has more experience with battles and greater arsenal of techniques
