It’s
easy to be too hasty with that North hand and just bash 4S or transfer and then
bash it. But one of the beauties of playing transfers is that you can use a
jump shift in a suit over 1NT as a single suited slam try. Usually opener will
make a cue-bid somewhere unless he has a small doubleton in responder’s suit
when he will retreat to 3NT. Here the North hand has an easy continuation with
4C, insisting on spades and cue-bidding the ace of clubs on the way. Now South
should be charmed. A popular convention finds responder has three key-cards and
the 5H continuation asks about the queen of trumps. Holding that lady North is
honour-bound to bid the slam. Not so difficult after all.
