I find that hard to believe to be honest.

They both have a lot of counters for each others' techniques. If Itachi manages to create some strategy that would allow him to effectively outsmart Sasuke, then victory is his. However, there's no guarantee that Sasuke wouldn't find a counter for it. And if it's a battle to the exhaustion, Sasuke can just outlast Itachi with the higher chakra reserves.

Itachi has more chakra than sasuke though. During their fight, itachi was using chakra tasking MS abilities and sasuke was only using chidori's, fire style jutsus and orochimaru's chakra expensive replacement jutsu. And yet itachi's reserves still managed to outlast sasuke's, he was still able to conjure a full armored susanoo and continue to fight oro even after sasuke ran out of chakra.

When sasuke fought the 5 kage, he had to be healed/replenished 3 times in order to continue using his MS. Zetsu replenished his chakra during his fight with the mizukage, karin healed and replenished him before his fight with danzo, karin healed and replenished him again after his fight with danzo.
