Show the route to the excellent 6♦ in your favourite system.

I'll prolly end up in 3NT, 6NT or 6♠. No way I'll find 6♦.

Seems a piece of cake for a relay system, though... You get to know N's shape in (I think) 3♦, and then it's easy to cherry-pick the key cards with denial cuebids.

as long as i didn't forget system at the table it would've gone this way:

2♣(prec-like) - 2♦(rel)
2♥(nat, any strength) - 2♠(rel)
3♥(1435) - 3♠(bwood)
3NT(zero) - 4♣(spiral scan)
4NT(K♣♦♥, no K♠) - 5♣(spiral scan)
5♠(Q♣♦, no Q♥)...

i must say also that this kind of slam-forcing sequence is not what i consider 100% obvious so i might just settle for game after hearing for a spade singleton

1♣-1♠
2♣-2♦
2♥-3♠
3NT-pass

1h =10-15, 4+H 1S= Relay
2H= 4H, 5+C 2S= R
2NT= shortS 3C=R
3D= 1-4-3-5 3H= R
3S= max to show ie Qs 3NT=R
4C= 3 controls 4D=R
5D=CKQ, HK noQ, DK 5H= R
5NT= DQ, no CJ 6D conclusion paying off if SJ but good 6D

Note the key is not just locatingthe cards but the knowledge opener has more to show in Qs & Js than bare minimum...
