The feature continued through the in <Chess Life> in (1969-1979) and back to Chess Life (1980-). By that point, under the editorship of Svetozar Gligoric, It had evolved into what was largely a lengthy and detailed and technical analysis of the opening involved in the game. This was not popular among the post-Fischer Boom readers who preferred simpler articles on more basic subjects. Unable to justify the excessive length of the feature (often 5-6 pages), editors began running it sporadically until it disappeared completely after 1981.
