No it is not anarchy in the purist sense of the word.  What you describe 
is totalitarianism. Anarchists contrary to the image put forth by our 
current government tend to be a peaceable group of folks who go by their 
own moral code, and tend to disregard laws as written by group think. If 
it is a just law in their opinion they would follow it whether it were 
written down or not as it jibed with their own sense of what is morally 
right. If it is an unjust law, they will disregard it and take whatever 
consequences for disobeying it come their way pretty much in stride. 
I've known a few quakers who are anarchists in those terms. Strongman B 
getting over on weakling A is nothing more than a petty dictator forcing 
his will upon another. He may find himself up against an angry mob of 
thirsty weaklings eventually, and then his dictatorial status over the 
well will change through sheer force of numbers.
