I've always read that the incompetence of Moltke The Younger during the initial stages of the First World War was the main contributor to the failure of the modified Schlieffen Plan.

Let's say Moltke has a stroke in 1913, and it is fatal. Could Moltke's successor improve the Schlieffen Plan, or implement it better, and if they did, would it be war winning?

Would Falkenhayn be the successor in 1913, or would it be someone else?
