  We report on a second epoch of Chandra X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the
spatially-resolved old nova remnant GK Persei. An ACIS-S3 observation of 97.4
ks was conducted in November 2013 after a lapse of 13.8 years from the last
visit in 2000. The X-ray emitting nebula appeared more faint and patchy
compared with the first epoch. The flux decline was particularly evident in
fainter regions and the mean decline was 30-40 % in the 0.5-1.2 keV energy
band. A typical expansion of the brightest part of the remnant was 1.9 arcsec,
which corresponds to an expansion rate of 0.14 arcsec yr^{-1}. The soft X-ray
spectra extracted from both the 2000 and 2013 data can be explained by a
non-equilibrium ionization collisional plasma model convolved with interstellar
absorption, though do not allow us to constrain the origin of the flux
evolution. The plasma temperature has not significantly evolved since the 2000
epoch and we conclude that the fading of the X-ray emission is due largely to
expansion. This implies that recent expansion has been into a lower density
medium, a scenario that is qualitatively consistent with the structure of the
circumstellar environment photographed soon after the initial explosion more
than a century ago. Fainter areas are fading more quickly than brighter areas,
indicating that they are fainter because of a lower ambient medium density and
consequently more rapid expansion.
