You are South and dealer. Imps. All white. East bids 2D if available. This is an old Meckwell deal.

Silent Club:

1♣-1N-(2♦) strong; GF majors; natural
P-X relay ask; longer hearts
2♥-3♦ ask; 4531
4♣-4♦ RKC♠; 1/4
6♠

Interference at or below 2♦ by 4th hand can be relayed over with little cost if one is so inclined. Here we end up on the +0 track since their bid stole only 2 steps and those come back with P and X.

In Unassuming Club,
1C-1H (two-way / natural positive) (2D)
2S-3S (strong, 5+ spades / natural)
and a keycard auction is the fast path to 6S.

I always bid a 5-card spade suit before a 6-card minor in Standard or 2/1, too, but I realize many people playing a system with the same name would start with 3C ... though if it went 3C-3S-4NT you'd get there just as fast.

I am surprised by North's 3NT bid in the posted Meckwell auction - which appears to be the culprit for missing the spade fit and slam.

IMPrecision shouldn't have a difficulty with the posted deal. Would this rearrangement pose more of a challenge?


I think for me it would start...

1C-1H (2D)
3C-3N

Now can opener force with 4H or more important, learn that partner has Kxxx? Responder could temporize with

1C-1H (2D)
3C-3D

which would locate the heart fit but endplay opener with A Ax xxx AKQxxx

In all these sequences I'd be bidding 4M over 3N rather than 4♣ and expect it to show 6-5.

But is 4M forcing? Does it show extra and will responder know that his Kxxx is enough for slam?

I think it must do, I've got enough to cover a misfit if partner has a minimum GF 5251/6151.
