We will explain later ( 521), in detail, that Black - in the historical context - will be able to win this type of semeai with White's group on the lower edge by one move, after he has reduced this White group to only one eye, with a move at . Here, however, Black's group already has lost a liberty by White's connecting move at . So, it will be White, not Black, who will win this semeai by one move now.
But, as also shown later ( 527), the gain of only one move is not sufficient for White to also win the game. After the loss of his group in the top right (please note that Black's groups in the lower right come to live in the process), Black will play at , capturing the entire left side, so winning the game.
