I was kibbing in a Swiss team game. Top A players sitting N/S. On one hand, N who is declarer faces and claims hand. Opponent tells declarer that declarer didn't follow suit on the last played trick which has been turned over by all players. Declarer says, "It doesn't matter, I have all the tricks!" The opponents allowed the claim to stand but I was wondering.... when declarer claims, isn't he essentially playing to the next trick and thus establishing a revoke? Or can he just correct the trick he didn't follow to?

Law 63 A 3. The claim establishes the revoke.
"I suggest a chapter on "strongest dummy opposite my free bids." For example, someone might wonder how I once put this hand down as dummy in a spade contract: AQ10xxx void AKQxx KQ. Did I start with Michaels? Did I cuebid until partner was forced to pick one of my suits? No, I was just playing with Brian (6S made when the trump king dropped singleton)." David Wright

It does matter. The claim establishes the revoke, so there will usually be a transfer of one or two tricks to the defending side.

As a kibitzer, you did the right thing in saying nothing.
