No.
Is there no bid that can force or even explore majors
What if I showed you North's hand
What if I told you that other major Bridge software manged to find 6 spades with not too much trouble when even a grand was possible
What if I told you that no matter what reasonable bid I could think of as South I could not get past 5 hearts
My problem is only with the North bot because West made an excellent pre-empt
Is it possible to elect to play East in robot tourneys?
FYI An offshape double will apparently get you into a more forcing situation

I understand that
All credit to those who navigated the maze
I always feel most aggrieved when I can see it and know its there but can't find a way

For those who haven't already found the hand here it is
I was in the crowd who reached 4 hearts. I don't know how many others were hoping for more
- and other major Bridge software somehow managed a bid
RHO doesn't have much, long clubs but I only have one of them etc
What have I got. Oh 13 points and some shape
You may question my (and most of the rest of the field's) choice of 4H but I have reason to believe the North bot did not even show up today and delegated to a lesser and much less experienced bot
Scored ok but I was so sad to miss the slam I knew was there

Right for informations but not with 4♥. Time ago was not possible to have simulations for other bids as lycier used to do ? And about the bidding at the other tables that can be known ? About 4♣ is easy to read the W hand (this one is the sequentiate type with a void and 2/3 high cards). It needs to have the N hand instead of E one to get it. May be usefull X to know force probably.

Why are people still dredging up my ancient hands
Its not like I was in the Bermuda Bowl

But why have you post it if not to have an answere ( how to get more) in a dialogue uncompleted. If there a way to get Slam it's necessary to know.

Looking back I have explored it again and wondered about 5 clubs as South
But surely North has to join in at some stage
