You are playing precision. 1D = 11-15, 2+ diamonds. 1NT = 13-15 and 2C could contain 5-4 hands.

Playing IMPs and all vul, you pick up void KT9xxx KQxxx AK and hear the auction

1 - (3) - ?

What do you bid?

how many diamonds has partner promised?

I think if tehre was ever a pick a slam hand it should be this one, but since I don't play such an awful convention I would bid 4 planing to bid 6 next, unless partner promised enough diamonds for having a sure fit.

I am more and more convinced that transfers (or "submarine") would be so nice after spade preempts. (4 as a diamond raise, 4 to show hearts and forcing, 4 to show clubs, etc.)

Exclusion. If partner shows 2 I bid the grand.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Oh didn't see I was playing precision. That makes it a nearly impossible problem. I'll go with 5NT, pulling 6C to 6D.

Do you play 4 as exclusion here? Otherwise you could just exclusion + 5NT or 6
