NT, north leads. NS need 6 tricks.

Spoiler

♦A pitching a spade (unless east pitches a spade), east has to pitch ♣9 because a spade will allow a spade to be established and a heart gives all of the remaining tricks away. Now a club is ducked (east pitching a spade) and the forced club return squeezes east in the majors.

---

West is on lead after the club is ducked (North pitches a spade)

If you lead a club immediately, the 9 prevents you from ducking the trick to west. If you duck to east, he returns a spade, breaking your communication for the squeeze. If you switch the ♣8 and 9, the squeeze also works by ducking a club, then winning the next club, crossing to the ♥A, and leading the ♦A.

I've heard the name Fred mentioned.

What squeeze ?
You have three ♥ and three more Aces .

If South has a ♥ less and an extra black card, (as in this diagram) then I think Molyb has a
Non-material triple and fratricide squeeze
North to lead and make 6/7 at notrump

Simplified version. South leads ♠A to make 4/5 at notrump.

Agreed. N to lead gives up a ♥ and then takes the last 6.

A♦. If E throws a Major, play on that suit. If E throw her ♣, duck a ♣ to W and W's club return squeezes E in the Majors.

You're right, this was an oversight on my part. I changed the ♥4 to the ♠4.

You can also squeeze East in the majors by cashing ♦A pitching a heart, and then playing a ♣ to the Ace. East has to pitch a spade to prevent you making 3 heart tricks, and now you can duck a spade to set up a second spade winner.
