I'd rather have seen the auction posted without RHO's final pass, or perhaps with RHO doubling
We can infer from the auction that RHO wasn't doubling 2
♦ on the AK of that suit, which would otherwise be a possibility (altho one wonders why he doubled when he was probably going to be on lead), and that if we are missing 2 Aces, they aren't in the same hand.
Given that there was no final double, I suspect we've reached a contract with at least some play, unless we are off split Aces. It may be cold, but as noted below, I suspect it is slightly against the odds.
Had we not known how the auction would end, I'd be very worried about reaching 6N.
S already knew N was maximum and yet made a quantitative 4N. I am not sure how finely calibrated S expected N's micrometer to be, but it seems reasonable to me that N ought to be looking at his diamond holding when deciding whether the maximum he already showed warranted acceptance.
I assume from the OP that N has denied 5
♣ earlier, since I confess that when I first read the OP, with 5
♣ not highlighted, I assumed it showed 5
♣, as it would with me (maybe 6
♣ would show 5?)
I am ambivalent about the final contract. AQxx Ax Axx Kxxx is an incredibly control rich maximum and requires either a spade hook or clubs to break. And he doesn't need all of that: KQJx Ax Kxx KJxx is a wonderful hand with zero play for slam.
On balance, I am not happy with the contract if I were to ignore RHO's pass, which I could not have known was happening when I committed to 6N. I would expect it to fail slightly more than half the time. I'd be happier, expecting success slightly more than half the time, had RHO not doubled 2
♦. I'm concerned that we are off a major suit A and that we need to score 2 diamond tricks without losing one. Without the double of 2
♦, I'd think that was, if needed, 50-50. With the double, the finesse, if needed, will surely fail.
Our methods smack of sophistication, and I am not saying my methods would do any better (tho I used to play a relay stayman that would have allowed me, by the 5-level, to know exact shape, and the number and location of all A/K/Q holdings...now that would be nice here). But these sophisticated methods got us to 6N in an auction on which the opening leader might have held AK of his suit or 2 Aces. I don't like that. At all.
Edit: I wouldn't look for slam in hearts either: rho doubled 2
♦ on K empty or A empty, and not much outside, on an auction in which I could well have been able to redouble, and when he rated to be on lead. I would expect a 6 card suit, and I'd fear A and a diamond ruff....I'd definitely bid 6N if I knew we were off one keycard.
