This problem looks fine at first. (Look closely at the moves!)

[Diagram]

I really dislike this exchange...

[Diagram]

This descent splits the corner stones from the zero-space low pincer stones, it also threatens to smack the corner stones with A or B.

[Diagram]

If Black protects his corner position, White can try to gently chase out the zero-space low pincer stones.

[Diagram]

(This is bad.)

[Diagram]

So, why would White exchange before descending?

[Diagram]

Also, if splitting is so big, why didn't Black connect under when he had the chance?

Sigh... I'll never understand this problem!
