Any blame for not finding 6?

After a trump attack, how good is the contract?

Anyway, it is easy to see, that with a different responder hand
6S may be worth while to investigate.

Depending on agreement you could either have bid instead of
4S either 2S, followed by 4S, or 3S.
I am not too fond of those alternative routes, so I guess my final
comment is "No blame".

With kind regards

I would assign blame if you DID bid 6S.

You did not reach the 26 HCP slam in a misfit situation? The one which goes often down after a trump lead?

Well done.
Kind Regards

Sorry for this bad question. I was probably misled by making 4+2

Koen, there are no bad queastions.

it is much better to ask too much then not enough.

It will help you to improve your game, when you critically ask yourself about any hand where you missed slam/game/the right strain. Sometimes it just happens, sometimes someone made a mistake.

But keep asking.
Kind Regards

1S 2d
4S
This Sequence always describes a 7s hand which can barely open.
As this hand has extra, I strongly recommend:
1S 2d
2S 3c
4S
