First do you agree with the auction so far?

Would you bid 6D?

I think North may be worth 4♠, since I assume X was Majors... However it's unclear that's a cuebid. I think 4N should be natural, and 5♣ natural as well, so I have a lot of sympathy for 5♦... South has a very difficult call, I doubt I'd find a 6♦ bid at the table, but perhaps it could work it out on paper. I'd be in 5♦, this is a huge weakness for a strong club system though. In standard, after 1♣ there would be a lot less trouble finding the slam since South can envision a double fit with partner having a huge minor suit hand.

With a strong club,
p p 1C <X>
2C(->D) <4H> 5D p
6D(w 2xA).

Only 5D limits 1C, so 2xA no grand.

Real problem for natural as never know a missing A.
Never limited the opener, still 11 to under GF-opener. How to avoid 7D??
