  Say that the entire population of the world of chessplayers was 6 people, you,
and players named (B), (C), (D), (E), and (f).  Say you can beat C,D,E, and F
more than they can beat you in a match.  Secondly C,D, and E have a winning
records against (B), and (F) is equal to (B)in score.  However (B) has a winning
advantage over you in say a 20 game series.  Frequently this can happen and it
is often due to style conflict, though.  So though you are the stronger player,
the weaker player can defeat you.  The players strengths happen to be where your
weaknesses are most prevalent is generally how it happens.  Though, the weaker
player tends to not be immensly weaker over all, but indeed can be a weaker
layer and still consistantly win against you.
