Bohr really didn't offer anything to the debate other than some hand waving philosophical arguments about how you just can't ask anything about what is inside the box until you look. Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen put the argument into mathematically solid and testable form. Einstein really 'wins' the argument in my mind either way it turns out because his name is attached to the actual experiment you can run to try to settle the question. He also got the Nobel prize for the photoelectric effect and directly helped to invent quantum mechanics. The idea that there's this Einstein-vs-QM WWE event is sort of false. He'd probably be more or less happy with the way things turned out since quantum observation can't be used for superluminal communication. It turns out QM is nonlocal, but it still has rules. If Einstein had lived to 143+ and was still around it might be interesting to ask where we'd be, since I don't think he would have accepted the just sort of shrug-and-accept-it-MWI approach to quantum observation. He'd probably be busy with something like twistor theory and trying to turn matter into tiny wormholes in space-time that can stretch and break and produce QM.
