White pushes from below into Black's upper left corner.

This push is preferred by KataGo (2020) from a reverse komi = -9 on.

White does not lose a Main Semeai Liberty by this move, as an approach-move liberty is created in Black's upper left corner.

For a more detailed analysis, please see the comparable position after the "early" capture of the nakade ( 222gn).

:
Black is forced to intercept at the left edge.

He is unable to capture White's stones in the corner unconditionally by descending to , instead, as this would cost him a decisive tempo in the Main Semeai. Thereafter, White would win the Punishment Semeai.

White connects, as there are no larger endgame points on the board remaining.

:
Eventually, White captures the hanezeki's tail.
Her bottom group will lose the semeai with Black's large group at the right anyway.
