Can North/South make 6 NT? No, the timing is all
wrong - the defense must get a heart and either a diamond or a second
heart.
Obviously, 6 ♦ is not going to work, losing the
♥ A and a trump.
Does 6 ♠ make? Not if, as is likely, it is declared by North - a diamond
lead kills it. But what if it is, improbably, declared by South?
Indeed, 6 ♠ by South does indeed make - all declarer needs is a single heart ruff
and then he can pitch North's diamond losers on two long hearts and a club.
