When playing against chop you need to be able to topspin the ball effectively to counteract the backspin.
Take a look at the PingSkills Lesson - Forehand Topspin against Backspin. This will help you out.
In a game situation if they are consistently chopping you can also push some balls to change the rhythm of the game.
First though master the topspin stroke against backspin.
