After Kramnik won the World Championship in 2000 his career stalled as he waited to play the "Brains in Bahrain" match against Deep Fritz 7, held in October 2002. It was part of the contract for winning against Kasparov. He missed so many events as this was continually postponed Later Kramnik suffered from ill health and had to take a break from the game making those wasted couple of years at the peak of his career seem even worse.
