Just Can't Beat Someone

Is it just me or are their people you just can't beat?  I've lost several games to people and then easily beat someone that has beaten them. 

Is it because our methods are so different and their play makes them better against us?

Possibly the play, possibly concentration against the opponent.  Maybe you are trying to hard to see the board and miss the simple accurate move.  I've had the same problem with several players myself

sometimes they just have your number.

try using an opening that You really do not like.  that will change the

entire course of your game and force you to concentrate just on the game.

An amusing paradox along these lines is provided by Efron's dice.

Ah...I found a solution....don't play them anymore

Scissors beat paper, paper beats stone, stone beats scissors :-)

Hehe.

Tal had this very same problem vs Kortchnoi, no wonder that the attacker had problems vs the counterattacker. And let's not forget the psychologi bit in it aswell.

Yup I've experienced this.  Also saw it in a room with 3 players including myself.  I beat one guy, that guy beat the other guy, the other guy beat me, then we did it again and the same thing happened.  On that occasion it was odd because I have beaten both of them in the past plenty of times. 

Bro. U have to study ur game and next time dont hurry. I'm sure u'll start beating. Keep calm! ALL THE BEST
