2club Stayman? 2heart transfer? At one table South adopted the transfer route and followed up with a rebid of 3diamond. North-South played this sequence as game-forcing and, using the principle of fast arrival North naturally leapt to 4spade to show a minimum hand with three spades.

How would you have played on diamondK lead?
