1S - 2H (1)
2S (2) - 3C (1)
3S (3) - 4D (4)
4S (5) - 5C (6)
5D (6) - 5H (6)
6S (7)
(1) Lawrence Style, i.e. 2H followed by 3H showes an inv. 1-suiter
(2) Catch All, could be a 5 card suit
(3) 3D would be FSF, 3NT is an option, but showing the 6th spade
and given the 6-4 shape 3S is fairly obvious
(4) Slamtry for spade, but 4C could be a 2-suiter, so whatever
(5) what else, ..., South has a dead min opener, and 4H should show
some life, the Queen of hearts is nice, but thats it
(6) First round control, indicating that bidding 4NT is not an option,
basically implying a (diamond) void
(7) As an alternativ 5S followed by 6S
If you play strong jump shifts, you would end up in 6H.
With kind regards

3♠ - 6♠
or
1♠ - 2♥
2♠ - 3♥
3♠ - 4♣
4♦ - 4N (Known ♦ Keycard, so subtracting one from RKC response for slam... RKC - ♠)
5♥ - 6♠

Who's dealer? 
Why are you all picking the easiest side? 
With North as dealer it's not that easy to play in ♠s imo.

I wouldn't reach slam in most auctions I can come up with in my pet system. 4M on 95% of the cases, 6M on the other 5%, possibly in the wrong suit (hearts).

Why are you all picking the easiest side? With North as dealer it's not that easy to play in ♠s imo.With North as dealer, we would reach 6H, since at one point in time hearts
would be set as trumps, and if South showes some life with spade values,
North wont stop below 6H.
So in fact, picking South as dealer makes it harder to reach the 6 level.

North deals:
O: 1♥
R: 2♠ (intermediate JS
O: 2NT (asking bid)
R: 4♦ (four diamonds with stiff heart)
O: 4NT (RKCB)
R: 5♥ (two without)
O: 6♠ (might not make) or 5♠ (safe)
South deals:
O: 1♠
R: 2♥
O: 2♠ (six of them)
R: 3♠ (fit)
O: 4♦ (courtesy cue)
R: 4NT (RKCB)
same finish
End result: 5♠ or 6♠ depending on whether we feel lucky or unlucky about the club hook. Does the club hook work???
