Bidding is straight forward -SEF and SAYC convention.
South bids 6NT on north’s 4NT bid.
6♦ by south is cold makes 6 if ♣ A is cashed, otherwise 7. 6♦ is a decent contract.
However in Matchpoints 6NT gives a better score on favourable layout and good play.
1 ♥ 7 is lead by east, since north is showing ♣ s. Play goes ♥ 7 ♥ 2 ♥ 6 ♥ K
2 ♦ K ♦ 5 ♦ 2 ♦ 8
3 ♦ Q ♦ 10♦ 2♦ 6
4 ♦ 3 ♣ 3 ♦ A ♠ 6
5 ♦ J ♣ 7♣ 2♣ 5
6 ♦ 9 ♠ 7 ♣ 4♣ 6
7 ♦ 7 ♠ 8 ♣ 8 ♥ 4
8 ♠ K ♠ 10 ♠ 4 ♠ 3
9 ♠ 9 J ♠ A ♠ 2
10 ♠ Q ♣ 9 ♥ 8 ♥ 9
11 ♠ 5 ♣ 10 ♣ J ♥ 10
12 ♥ 3 ♥ 5 ♥ A ♥ Q
13 ♥ J ♣ A ♣ K ♣ Q
In the 11th trick, ♠ 5 card squeezes west in ♥ and ♣
♥ J acts as the menace/thread card
If west discards ♣ A instead of ♥ 10 then north’s ♣ K is high
