1d=2c
2d(6)=3d
4d=4h(rkc in d)
4nt(1-4)=5c(q ask)
5s(QD&ks, deny kh)=6c(kc, grand try)
7c(qc)=7nt

Awful hand for my system wich starts preempting ourselves.

1♦-1♥ (11-15 /nat or strong)
3NT-4♦ (4 hearts, 5+ diamonds splinter in clubs/ RCBW in diamonds)
4♥-4♠ (1 keycard, ♦Q inquiry)
5♠-6♣ (♦Q+♠K, Queens) At 5♠7 is unreacheable cos ♥K is missing and no clue about diamond lenght, only try for 6NT
6♥-6NT (♣Q/to play)

does opener really bids 4D here ? I think its wrong to bypass 3NT, as 3d isnt a slam try.

With no 2 quick losers in the side suits, Responder is ready to go RKC after a 2D rebid by Opener.
What better way than with Minorwood in a GF auction:

1D - 2C! ( GF )
2D - 4D! ( Minorwood )
4S! - 5C! ( dQ-ask as 4NT would be "to play" )
5S! - 5NT! ( 2nd K-ask , which would include cQ of the 2/1 suit )
6C! - 7NT ( counting on at least 6d, 3s, 1h, 3c )

where:
4S! = 2nd step, 1 or 4
5S! = dQ + sK, denying hK
6C! = cK or cQ

I'm pretty sure I get stuck at 6NT:

1♦-2♥ (11-15 w/ 2+♦; 16+ NT, 16+ long ♥ or ♥+♦)
2♠-3NT (Relay; 19-20, balanced)
6NT-p

[Flameous]

1♦ - 2♣
2♥ - 2♠
3♠ - 4♥
4♠ - 4NT
5♥ - ...

3+D, unbal 10-14 - Inv+ relay bal or clubs or diamonds invite
4 hearts - relay
2461 shape - rkc in D
1/4 - Q ask
DQ and HQ - And now I ran out of room, could find out either SK or CQ but not both.

5H = dQ + hQ ?( ? I would not bid this since there really were not any Ht Ctrl bids showing the hK )
Instead:
5S = dQ + sQ, denying hK
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

At any rateyou do have enough room after 5H:

5♥ - 5♠ ( 2nd K-ask )
5NT! - 6♣ ( 3rd K-ask which would also include the cQ -- of the 2/1 suit )

( Responder won't make this bid with at least A K or A Q etc of Cl )

??
.. 6♦ = No cK or cQ
.. 6NT = cK or cQ ( NT shows asked-for feature )

After 6NT, Responder can count at least 13 tricks for 7NT

2c shows a pretty decent hand for us and opener has more than a minimum hand for us...

2c and then 3d is a bit more slamish than 2nt rebid by responder for us but...


Even if you prefer 3nt by opener ...responder can bid 4h(rkc in d) over 3nt for same auction.
