Well analysed & well played. I am not sure that I would have opened the North hand as it’s only 11HCPs and the 2nd suit ranks higher. If W opens a weak 2S South could bid 2NT North would raise to 3NT. Probably West would lead the JS so helping South to pinpoint the missing spades and 12 tricks for NS.

Thank you, Martin. Most top players are opening hands with 11 hcp these days, especially with a 5-4 distribution and "pure" holdings...such as the D-AQJ and the HA. Have a great day. Keith 😊
