You do realise 6♣ is down with any passive lead. With GIB defence, its probably a made contract where it leads a diamond (assuming South plays 6C) or leads a low heart and ducks it to your eight of hearts. Your hand is too strong to open 1NT- its more like 1C, 2NT(round up quality with GIB) . Logically North should splinter.

Well, normally over a 2nt club transfer, opener is required to bid 3♣ always (no super accept allowed when playing one-under transfers), so GIB isn't optimized for how to continue over non-3c responses. Over 3♣, North should normally bid 3♥, showing singleton heart, GF values, slam interest, then South can eventually drive to slam. Don't know if GIB bids properly after 3♣ or not.

South shouldn't be bidding beyond 3♣ initially because North could easily be near broke with a J or T high 6 or 7 card suit.

Of course,6♣ may be not a good contract,but I wanna to know how to bid up to slam if I take a agressive strategy.
