spade slam with 2o HCP
Can you get to the small spade slam with 20 HCP? We didn't.
Partner held:
J 10 8 6 3 2
AKQ x x
Void
x x
I held:
A 9 7 5 4
7
J 9 8 7 5
A J
Partner dealt and opened 1S. Then: 2D, 2H, 3C, 4H, 4S, all pass. The K and Q dropped under the Ace, making seven
I should splinter 4H. This shows a singleton or void in hearts, good spade support, and game-going values. [This was only the second time we had played together and I worried that he might not catch it. I should have splintered anyway and if it did not work, mark it up as a learning experience.]
Then what should he do over 4H? I think 4S is his correct bid.
Then do you think he should bid 6S if I bid 5C over 4S? Should I bid 5C?
I would appreciate your thoughts.

I like the auction starting with a forcing spade raise. Say you are playing Jacoby 2NT. Then the auction goes 1S-2NT; 3D-3S; 4D-4NT; 5D-6S. The 3 diamond bid shows a singleton or void, the 4D bid confirms the void. Then key card blackwood shows one key card, so a key is known to be missing, so 6 spades only. I wouldn't want to be in 7 anyway.
