2♣ 2N* Positive (No 5 carder, For a minor, Bid Tempo to 5 of a Minor)
3♦ 3♠ (4 Spades A+ or KQ+)
3N 4♦ (3+♦ cue-request. Since it is below 5♦ it is showing extra values)
4♥* 4N. (RKCB (D))
5♣ (0/3) 5♥ (?Q All KC Present)
5♠* (♦Q+♠K) 6♣* (else?)
7♦ (♣K + ♥K) 7NT

On the POV of South He can count on 4s+2h+5d+2c tricks for a total of 13. If he has not the ♠J he may stop at 6NT or 7♦.

Like "Trump Echo" have said, the trick is to show super positive opposite a strong 2-club opening, in which my 4♦ to 3NT did it.

Is 3N putting an end to opener's description?

Am slightly confused - are you criticising your own auction?

Yes somewhat just asking for opinions. If this is the case this is a sufficient reason for responder to take charge of the auction.

I suggest : S 2♣ - N 4 NT (quantitative=11/12 points, balanced hand). Let's note that S has an half balanced hand (5-4-2-2) for a(probable) diamond bidding and jump to 6 ♦ invite to 7 (also for 6 NT). About points : N must have almost an Ace (with 11 p.), then ..

1D is H or pts (gf bal or 6-8 inv)

2D is almost GF (22-23 pts)
2S is GF (often gf bal or with 4H)
2NT is 22-23 bal
3C is romex stayman
3H is exactly 4H may have 4S
3S is 4S (denies 4H)
3NT denies 4S
4C show bal GF with 4S+4C without 4H

here its undiscussed but since responder cannot have 4D I would take 4D as showing 5.

Our rule is bid that can be natural are natural others are rkc responses agreeing fit (except the NT bids)

so after 4D, 5C would show 2 no Q (and a 4234 by inference)
6C (extras for 7D) ---7D yes.

IRL ill probably be in 6D however.

EDIT: Sorry, South was dealer.

we have 13 top tricks yet I find it difficult to bid 7nt. difficult

Posters bidding if I find silly if laughable.


this is silly but//

2c=2d
2nt=5nt(grand try?)

may I bid only 6nt yet still win the match?

I don't understand your fear : you such as must not bid 7 (in this case probably your have right) but (jumping) 6NT and partner close to 7 with 2 Ace but also ' cause in spade N have 3 honors and then the suit is ok (S has almost K) Points are sufficent for 7NT also counting from N opposite 2♣ opening bid.(Lovera)

Opener : 22HCP + 1DP Good control factor
Responder: 12HCP + 0DP Fair Control factor
Suit Fit : +3 for Eight Card Fit
