Scoring: IMP


1NT Pass to you.

You play Stayman and 4 suit transfers if it helps. Stayman then 3 minor is forcing.

Assuming a strong NT there is something to be said for a direct 5♣ bid.

I guess to bid it this way, and I emphasize "guess."

1N-2C
2D/S-3C
3N-5C

I believe this comes closest to describing my shape and strength without sounding like some kind of slam try.

I will start with a transfer to clubs. If partner shows a good hand for clubs (either by bidding 2NT or 3C, whatever you play) then I will bid 3S, showing shortness. A fitting 11-count should do it, so if things look good and I can find out then I will try for slam.


If partner denies a good hand for clubs then I will settle in 5C.

What is partscore doing in the title?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Direct 5♣ seems fine.
