Final Comments
In 6 spades we look at both hands.
We could lose 2 clubs.
We can use the third good heart to discard the losing club.
So we make our small slam.
Planning
After a major-suit fit is agreed using Jacoby 2NT,we should identify whether the partnership have enough points to investigate slam.
