Bolshaya Igra - The classic Great Game
The Great Game (Russian: Большая игра, Bol'sháya igrá) is a term used for the strategic rivalry and conflict between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for supremacy in Central Asia. The classic Great Game period is generally regarded as running approximately from the Russo-Persian Treaty of 1813 to the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907. A second, less intensive phase followed the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The Great Game dwindled after the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union became Allies during World War II.
The term "The Great Game" is usually attributed to Arthur Conolly (1807–1842), an intelligence officer of the British East India Company's Sixth Bengal Light Cavalry.[1] It was introduced into mainstream consciousness by British novelist Rudyard Kipling in his novel Kim (1901).

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.
