I saw north open 1D and rebid 2C and couldn't take it any more. I'm giving north full blame for this.

Maybe south bid horribly later, I'm afraid I'll never find out.

its strong club han he cannot open anything else.

BTW that's why 2♠ shows 3 cards, opener rebids his 5 card suit with 22(54)

Don't you prefer 2NT instead of 3♠?

Since I expect it to be hard for partner to cuebid his ♦ control if he also has ♣A, I just go to 4NT over 2♠ with this, and get as much info as possible as simply as possible.

Hi,

You have just 25HCP, no wastage at all, everything is needed, even the
club and heart shortage, so no blame at all, at least in a natural opening
system.

The only question is, if the slam interest was shown in the knowledge of a
min opener or not, if opener already showed a min opener, than it could
be argued, that he should move on seeing the diamond controls in his hand,
but only than.

But the way you play FSF, 2H was already GF, and 2S simply showed the fit.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: Overlooked the fact, that the opening is already limited to 15HCP,
nevertheless, opener happens to hold a (nice) min, the 5431 shape is
already known to responder.

Seems obvious to me that North shouldn't signoff in 4♠ after his partner showed real slam interest without a ♦ control while having ♦AK.
