1H was natural or GF.
3D was 1444 18-22

here we dont have a S keycard available. So south RKC in H.

3H-3NT (30)
4C-4D (QH ? , no)
4S-5H (KC ?, Kc+Kd+Qc no Qd)
??

now
5S would ask for JH
5NT would suggest 2 place to play.
rest is to play.

opener showned

1444 with 3 H keycards + KD+KC+Qc and he denied red queens

On the same day of the 2 sessions swiss on the last weekend we had...



1D-1H (4D unbal 11-22, nat or GF)
1S-2S (54 or 45 in minors, relay break showing one loser in spades)

I knew we were missing a keycard and the Qs. Anyway this one i was asleep at the wheel and choose 6NT instead of 6S to protect my red holdings but forgot that I had bid 1S.

With a keycard missing and Q missing, we were already looking for slam in another suit than . I'd bid 6.

Its a 6NT or 6S thing. Both case will go down if you cant pick up the spades Axxx-x but there will be more undertricks in 6NT.

6NT will fail when opener got the stiff ace of spades but not the K of H and they lead H.

6S might fail when they lead H and you discard your 3H on clubs and diamonds and play trumps they win with ace return H or D and try for a trump promotion.


Ex west got

A9x or ATx
4H and find the H lead.

or spades are
Txxx ---- A
and his T get promoted if you ruff D or H high (irrelevant if west is singleton H or not but he must lead H to give you problems.)
