Chris showed me this deal. South opens a 14-16 1NT and winds up declaring 6D on a trump lead. What is supposed to happen?

More below, more to follow in a future post.


At the table, declarer won in dummy, unblocked clubs, crossed in trumps to ruff a club and drew trumps. East had a problem and discarded a heart. At which point, declarer lost a heart finesse but eventually got home on a double squeeze. Could the defense have done better?
