Dear usmanamjad87,
Bolshaya Igra particularly refers to strategic rivalry and conflict between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for supremacy in Central Asia. Its period approximately span from 1813 to 1907. Bolshaya Igra loose intensity after the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union became Allies during World War II.
As you mentioned in your post "Great Game now refers to The NEW great game" means that there was an old Great Game too.
