3♥ - 4♣

4♦ - 4N

6♠

 

4♣ shows 8 QP

4♦ starts the scan

4N shows 1-2 controls in Diamonds and 0 or 3 in Clubs

 

At this point in time, 6S looks cold.

We can't ask for the K of Hearts which gives us decent play for 7S

 

Might as well just place the contract

... 3♦ (shape)

3♥ - 4♣ (QP ask, 8 QP)

 

We are missing 5QP, which generally means we have at least five-level safety and some slam chances. Continuing:

 

4♦ - 4♠ (one or three top spades, zero or two top clubs)

 

This means Axxxx x AKx xxxx or Axxxx K Axx xxxx or Axxxx K KQx xxxx; none of these are a good grand even if we add jacks so:

 

6♠ - Pass

3♥-4♣ QP ask, 8

4♦-4♠ PCB, odd spades w/ even clubs

4N-5♣ ask, even diamonds

5♦-5N ask, small heart w/ A or Q of spades but no SJ

6♠

 

Could jump to 6♠ after 5♣ because we know SA, DA, and DK

1♣ 16+ - 1♥ = 4+ ♠ or 4♠ & 5♣/♦

1♠ RELAY - 2♥ = 5♠ & 4♣/♦

2 ♠ RELAY - 3♦ = 5=1=x=x

3♠ BETA - 4♠ = 5 controls (missing 1 red K)

5♦ CAB - 6♥ = AK♦ (missing K♥)

6♠ May need flat distribution

...3D

 

Both QPs ask and RKC ♠ would work well on this hand. Responder can have as little as XXXXX K KQX QXXX on a bad day, but a holding like Axxxx x KQx Qxxx is enough to give us an chance and we won't get that information without DCB.

 

Ergo:

 

3H....4C (QP ask, 8 QPs)

4♦...4N (DCB, ♠/♦ controls, AKQ of ♣ or nothing)

 

At this point, we might still have two Aces and K♥, Q♣, but since we have the luxury of the ♠ suit, we can soldier on:

 

5♣ - 5♦ (DCB; no second ♠ card)

5♥ - 5N(DCB (smugly); second ♦ card)

6♠

[sieong]

(PCB with control parity)

 

3♥ - 4♣ (QP? - 8)

4♦ - 4♠ (control parity - odd + even KQJ in ♠)

 

At this point, responder possible hands are Axxxx x AKj xxxx (lower case honor means possible to have) or Axxxx K Ajx xxxx. Both of which has good play for 6♠, but nothing higher, so we sign off in 6♠.
