      Chess players, Klitschko brothers


      Artificial Life Signs Exclusive License Deal With World Boxing Champions Klitschko

      HONG KONG, April 8, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) — Hong Kong-based Artificial Life, Inc. (OTCBB:ALIF) (http://www.primenewswire.com/newsroom/ctr?d=139710&u=http://www.artificial-life.com), a leading full service provider of award winning mobile technology and applications, today announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement with Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, the current global heavyweight boxing champions. The Klitschko brothers are represented by the Klitschko Management Group GmbH, Hamburg.

      Wladimir Klitschko, also known as “Dr. Steelhammer,” currently holds the IBF, WBO, and IBO world heavyweight titles. The professional boxing record of the Ukrainian-born champion speaks for itself! 50 wins, 44 by knockout and only 3 defeats. He also won the Gold Medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games in the super heavyweight category.

      His elder brother, Vitali Klitschko, is a former WBC and WBO heavyweight champion. He retired in 2005 and announced his comeback in 2007. His professional record is clear and impressive: 35 wins, 34 by knockout and just 2 defeats. He has the highest knockout percentage (92%) of any heavyweight champion in overall fights and has never been knocked down professionally. Both brothers are avid chess players and hold PhDs in sport science.

      “We both are thrilled about the whole development process of the game and looking forward to the results. Finally my brother and me can compete in addition to the chess board,” said Wladimir Klitschko.

        Vitali played Kasparov to 31 moves… plus he may be the next mayor of Kyiv.
