Board 28: Advanced Cue Bid?

Nobody bid this Slam which is hardly surprising as it is difficult to show the shape and strength.

One way you might get there is if East bids 3♠ immediately after West opens 1 . 1♠ and 2♠ show Spade suits of different strengths.

3♠ over 1 would be a Splinter showing 4-card support and a void or singleton Spade. Over a 1♣ or 1 opening I prefer a double-jump to be a Cue-Bid showing first round Control.

So 1 - 3♠ says I have four Diamonds and the ♠ A (or void), 4 now says I have the  A but not the ♣ A.

East isn't bothered about the lack of a Club Ace and can now bid 6♦.
