This came up in a club game the other night.  Match points,
not vul vs. vul, S deals, opponents pass throughout:

	S: A K 9 2
	H: K 10 6
	D: 8 2
	C: A K Q 4


	S: Q J 5
	H: A 7 3 2
	D:
	C: J 10 9 8 5 3

Anyone who can show me how get to the odds-on 7S contract intelligently?
My partner and I play 2/1 Game Force (Hardy style), but I'd like to hear
what other systems do with this...
************************************************************************
I have only one partnership that has the tools to reach 7S. The auction:

	south	north
	pass	1C	
	2C(1)	2NT(2)	
	3H(3)	3S(4)	
	4D(5)	4S(6)	
	4NT(7)	5C(8)
	5D(9)	5H(10)
	5S(11)	6D(12)
	7S(13)	pass

I think some elaboration is in order:
1)forcing for one round, 10+ points in support of clubs, at least 5 clubs.
2)19-20 point no trump hand.
3)natural, checking for a 4-4 heart fit.
4)natural, showing four spades.
5)cue-bid
6)cue-bid
7)keycard blackwood in clubs
8)three keycards excluding the diamond suit which was cue-bid
9)How about the club queen?
10)I have the club queen and the heart king
11)How about the spade suit?
12)I have the spade king without the spade queen
13)I see six club tricks, 5 spade tricks, two hearts with spades trump.
