I think 6♦ is obvious, although we seem to be pummeling 5♠ with club ruffs, assuming pard can reach our hand in time.

I slept on this hand and came to the conclusion that 6D is the right bid. And now it turns out that pass is the winning call, sjees! Could you post the full hand?

Hardly a surprise. We really showed our hand with the first double. True, we happen to have a void in spades, but partner had a right to expect no more than one spade and about the high-card strength that we have now. And of course, we can pass now and partner will still be there. If he is ready to chop this off (and apparently he was), why not let him.

It's not just the void, though you seem to be speaking as though that isn't a big deal when I find it to be huge. We have secondary honors in both partner's suits and top tricks in the last suit, every high card in our hand looks gigantic for offense. Also we have 9 cards in his suits when we could have had 8 or 7. We have a whole lot more offense than he has a right to expect.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Hmm I think we all expected more distribution in your hand. I would bid 3S not 4H.
