You are of course perfectly right.
In any sport on the moon surface, one have to take low grav into consideration. It is possible to take a match of table tennis, but it will be boringly slow, or else you will miss the table altogether. In zero grav table tennis it is impossible.
I would prefer a good sound game of chess in space. May I challenge you?
Chal me, we can have a go. BTW I see you are from Sweden. I have a Swedish daughter in law, from Gotenburg. I entered one of her songs in the music competition, don't know if you got around to listening to the entries, she was in the extra division. Not sure if the link is still up. Ask Starrman if it is if you are interested. She has an incredible voice and its a Swedish lullably she sings, etherically beautiful.
