i blame the dog
to be honest, the only thing missing really is a final double. maybe north can venture a 4d call instead of 4h to make things clearer for p.
bringing back a 500 compared to a 680 is not that bad. (especially since on this layout it really should only be 650, and if you rearrange things slightly even 5♥ won't make).
others will probably disagree, but bidding to 5h on the NS hands is, imo, a long term losing action.

The final pass is weak, opener can be expected to have 2+ tricks and South might get 3 or more, can't pass.
otoh, I would have been very tempted to open 4♥

It is hard to find a good bid for south after 4 spade is passed around to him:
This hand screams: Double fit: They have spades and diamonds. In this case, my defensive values are lower then it seems and we may even have a double swing.
So I think I have to bid again just as an insurance against a double swing. As my pd has 7+ hearts, I would bid 5 Heart and nail 5 Spade.

5♥? What double fit? Did pard support our clubs along the way?
Just hammer 4♠. Pard can still pull (he won't).
The rest of the auction looks fine to me.

Csaba is on a non-spade lead. ♣, ♣ pitching the spade, ♦, ♦, ruff ♠ to hand, ♦...

Yes, south missed his obvious double.
The alpha and omega of this deal. Looking at just the two north-south hands, and trusting the opponents bidding, I don't particularly want to be in 5♥, much less 6♥.

How come south passed out 4♠ - surely that's impossible on this auction?
Kind regards,

It looks like a forcing pass to me, but even if it was agreed as NF (if 3♣ was a NFB) double is obvious.
So 100% to South.
