In a nut shell, yes. But your sentence has tense issue. Normal collocation is either " you never win when he plays...(as a general statement suggesting not even once)", or " you had never won when he played" (but you made an exception this time). So it is matter of what you had in mind.

You would never win when he played is possible. Here 'would' is used for repeated actions in the past.
