The 7.Lb5 line has become fashionable in the last 4-5 years. White is losing some time, playing with his white squared bishop, in order to prevent the typical 'Grünfeld' counter-play.
The current theory considers black to have equal chances in the following line 7...c6 8.La4 b5 9. Lb3 b4. The future of this whole variation depends mostly on the fact whether the players playing with white pieces will be able to find ways of gaining some advantage in this particular lin or not.
In any case, in almost all lines we have reached complicated positions, offering numerous improving possibilities for both sides.
