Cold slam

-----We were bye at the 2. match and got 18 vp. At 3. match we played against another not experienced opponents and we got 25 vp. Our scores were better than our team mates and the most important board was this 6 board which was only bid by 2 pairs in the championship.
I had this hand at the first seat and opened 1NT.
♠A8------------Vul-------:None
AJ85---------Dealer---:West
Q852
AT2
bidding went:
W------N------E-----S
1NT----P-----2----2
dbl-----P------3-----P
3------P-----4
4♠------P-----5
6----All Pass
lead 6 .

♠A8------------------♠K754
AJ85------N------KQT63
Q852---W--E-----
AT2-------S-------K875
I ruffed it and played A of ♠, ruffed again. Now I played K of , K of and another South ruffed it and played A of . Here is the position
-----------♠QT9
-----------9
------------
-----------QJ9

♠8-----------N--------♠K75
AJ8-- -W---E-----QT
Q8---------S---------
A---------------------87
------------♠J6

------------AKJT9

I ruffed it, North pitch a , and only chance was returning hand with A of in order to ruff a . So I played and seeing that South can not ruff I claimed all making 6= +1460 .
If you look at the diagram after ruffing when I cash all of North is squeezed in black suits.

Now lets see the appropriate bidding and play.
♠A8-----------N-------♠K754
AJ85----W---E----KQT63
Q852-------S--------
AT2------------------K875

W------N------E-----S
1NT----P-----2----2
P-------P------3♠-----P
4------P------5-----P
6----All Pass
West should pass if you play non-forcing stayman, East's 3♠ bid shows 4c ♠ and 5c with short because he can double 2 with long . Now West has a wonderful hand against a stiff so cue-bid with 4, and the story ends.
If South bid 2 or 3 I should have played it in this line:
1.ruff
2.K of , and a

---If you A of wins at the 3. trick you make the contract with cross-ruffs. However, South ruff your small at the 3. trick and now you have enough entries.
after ruffing 2 more you reach the position:

♠8------------------♠K7
AJ-------N-------Q
Q------W--E----
2---------S-------75

When you cash 's opponents are caught double squeeze. North is forced to keep ♠ and and south ♠ and . Nice slam board that should be easily bid and made.
