Silent club:

1♣-1♦ strong; most 0-7 or GF ♥
1♥-2♥ min, waiting; GF ♥♦, 5/5 or some 5440s
2♠-3♥ ask; 3550 min (6 or fewer QP)
3♠-4♣ ask; 1-2♥ honors, no ♦ honors
4♦-4N ask; 2♥ honors, only 1♠ honor
6♦- p

Opener could keep asking about jacks, but since North is declaring it didn't seem worth continuing. Most 5-6 QP hands have good slam prospects and seem at worst to be on setting up the 5th card in either side suit.

C3: Copious Canape Club

1♣ (16+) - 1NT (G.F. Majors or any 5-5) -
2♣ (Relay) - 2♠ (5♥ & 5♣/5♦) -
2NT (Relay) - 3♣ (5♦) -
3♦ (Relay) - 3♥ (0/1♣ up-the-line) -
4♦ (Beta for controls) - 4♥ (1-2 controls) -
4♠ (CAB) - 5♣ (K♠) -
6♦ all pass

Seems like a reasonable shot, depends on the ♥ honor(s), no room to ask
Ultra ♣ Relay: see Daniel's web page: https://bridgewithda...19/07/Ultra.pdf
C3: Copious Canape Club is still my favorite system. (Ultra upgraded, PM for notes)

Santa Fe Precision ♣ published 8/19. TOP3 published 11/20. Magic experiment (Science Modernized) with Lenzo. 2020: Jan Eric Larsson's Cottontail ♣. 2020. BFUN (Bridge For the UNbalanced) 2021: Weiss Simplified ♣ (Canape & Relay). 2022: Canary ♣ Modernized, 2023-4: KOK Canape, 2025-6: Canape!

1♣ - 1♠ (16+; balanced or reds)
1N - 2♣ (relay; reds)
2♦ - 2♠ (relay; LL)
2N - 3♥ (relay; 3=5=5=0)
3♠ - 3N (QP ask; 5-7)
4♣ - 4♦ (QP ask; 5 QPs)
4♥ - 4N (DCB, ♥, not ♦)
6♦

Almost any 5 QP combination in responder's hand gives us a decent shot at slam.

IMPrecision variant

1C-1N 16+, 5-10 w/5 hearts, not 4S or 5C
2C-3S asks, 3550
4C-4S asks, 5 QPs
4N-5C asks, 0 or 2 top hearts
6D

No grand seems likely opposite 0 or 2 hearts.

Something like:
1♣-1♥ (16+ ; GF 5+♥)
2♦-5♣ (5+♦ ; voidwood)
5♥-6♦ (0/3 keycards not counting ♣A ; ok)

If responder is too afraid of voidwood he can also splinter:
1♣-1♥ (16+ ; GF 5+♥)
2♦-4♣ (5+♦ ; splinter)
4♥-4NT (serious and even number of keycards => 4 ; tactical cuebid ♥ to figure out about ♣A)
5♣-6♦ (♠ cue and ♣A ; meh)

Two-way pass:

pass 1♥
2♦ 2♥
3♣ 4♦
4NT 5NT
6♦

pass = 0-8 or 15+
1♥ = nat 9-14
2♦ = nat, 15+ variant
2♥ = catch-all with min hands
4♦ = catching up with previous bidding... :)
5NT = even number of keycards + a void

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
