Jérôme Hubert's Solid Connection is a mistake here.

:
This kikashi is played in order to simplify the presentation.

:
White gives atari at Black's two stones, starting to shift the balance of territories at the top in her favour.

:
White takes the last valuable point on the board.

Capture Variation:

Compared to the superordinate variation, ...

• Black did not capture one White stone at the top, so losing two points.
• White got an additional point of territory at the top.
• White did not capture Black's stone in the lower left, so losing two points.

In total, White gained one point.

White + 3 => White + 4
