There is also the Meckwell - "TURBO-like" treatment for Responder's hand:

1NT - 2D! ( simple transfer )
2H - 5H! ( 2 + hQ; replying as if 4S!-RKC were asked )
5S! ( K-ask ) - 6D ( K only )
6H for hand #2 ( A K J x, x x, A x x, A x x x )
7NT for hand #1 ( A x x, x x, A Q J x x, A x x ... hoping the red suits split )


I Think one more heart would be required to use the Meckwell thing (in addition to that outside king).

The point of my examples was that there might be a grand slam. If the best that your methods can do is get you to the same wrong contract as everybody else, it's not much of an advertisement.

Here is a better asdvertisement:


Here was the bidding ( with a self- splinter bid as suggested here ).
1NT - 2H!
2S - 4C!
4D - 4NT
5C - 6S

Note: Responder went RKC w/o knowing of a Ht Ctrl .

My system:
1NT - 2H!
2S - 3C!
3H!( 3oM = 3s AND 4 or 5c ) - 3S! = long Sp hand
4C!(cue) - 4D!
4H! - 4NT
5C ( 0/3 ) - 6S
