Makable contracts

This looks like a Mollo hand. 6S makes by South since West has no trump to lead. HH was South no doubt and Papa was West. Karapet East (who doubled) and RR North

if a non-trump is led, win three diamonds, 3 hearts, and 2 clubs, then lead a fourth heart, overruffing west. Then you play a club, which east must ruff and lead away from his queen into your AKJ.

If a trump is led, basically the same thing except you win a top trump first.

 

 

Similarly, make 6 in the south on any lead here.

Want to figure out how they bid to 6 too? :P

 

RR opened 1, Hog couldn't reply 2 because that might make RR declarer in 3NT so he bid 1 (standard, to prevent a spade lead against NT). Rabbit couldn't bid NT or rebid diamonds, so he decided to raise with AKQ spades. Now hog bid 3NT per the plan but RR felt his hand was too good and cuebid 4. Hog tried 4NT to play, to which rabbit replied with his number of keycards and corrected 5 to 6 because he had 3, not 0 :)

Help Nigel1 I cannot.
Lord MolyB's spoiler (above) gives the solution. Cash your plain-suit tops and ruff a heart low (LHO must under-ruff while RHO follows suit). Both opponents are left with only trumps. Poor RHO can't avoid ruffing dummy's club exit to lead into dummy's tenace.
