You're talking about the French auction on board 23 in this match.

My interpretation:

X = takeout
4N = "two places to play", always with both minors unless slam interest
5 = preference opposite both minors, NF
5 = slam try with spades and a minor, NF
5N = "pick a slam", usually with some doubt about the best strain
6 = diamond suit, prefers spades to clubs
6 = to play? inviting 7 because of the "slow" 5N route to 6? (not clear to me which).

My interpretation:

X = I think is with spades,force
4NT = over the 4 SP,BW
5 = 0-3 Aces, A,K-SP and A CL
5 = Here is my surprise. I think here, 5 SP is stoped, but Bessis go to 5NT.
5NT = go for king
6 =1 king
6 = final contract.

I don't understood your explanation:
4N = "two places to play", always with both minors unless slam interest
5♣ = preference opposite both minors, NF

Thank you.

...is simply wrong. I am sorry to welcome you to the BBO forums this way but this is the truth of the matter.

4NT is either a hand that wants to play in 5 of a minor or a flexible hand with slam interest. Doubler chooses their better minor (in this case clubs) unless they would want to make a further slam try. The only place I can offer a possible alternative to nullve is in the 5 call. That might show specifically spades and clubs as 5 could have been chosen with both pointy suits. I am not sure of this though - it would just make the 5 call over 5NT clearer.
(-: Zel :-)

Happy New Year everyone!
