its not about ability its about postition. If the axe is in his left hand and your chainsword is in your left many  blocks wont work and you must move your arm more to take a block to an attack making you that much slower. You cant switch hands mid-battle, so de facto he has that on you.They may be ambidextrous, but direction of attack will count if not because of the skills involved then simply because it makes your parry and your attack further apart. Except of course if you disregard your ranged weapon completely and show him only your sword wielding side it doesnt matter what direction he swings from.
