With this hand as Opener, a natural and forcing 2 seems to make perfect sense. A splinter would have focused Responder on the potential club Queen. A spade bid and then heart slam move establishes the pattern (short diamonds) and focuses the spade suit as the source of need.


Exactly. A forcing bid is forcing and may conceal support, even very good support.
