No, and neither player is close to a move. Imagine South with same values but 3145 instead - then slam is poor and you would not think twice about it.

You can bid a slam, but you'll be in a bad slam opposite less suitable dummies, your opps have made it pretty tough. If S had decided to overcall 2 rather than X it's easier, but not sure it's the right thing to do.

I don't see slam being bid either. It's a 27 HCP slam with only J wasted. The missing honors are AKQ and QJ. So, the 4 bid looks to have been made on ether if East has anywhere near a legit opener. Preempts work.

Hi,

lets see

#1 you could start with 2D instead of X, planning to reopen with X,
if 2H / 3H reaches you.
Given the prime values, going this route is not an overbid, but
X is certainly ok.
The only other remote alternative, is an offbeat 2NT for the minors,
but this looses the spade suit. Seeing 55 in the minors will get North
going, ... use the bid, and dont complaing about missing 4S.

#2 4S, what else?

#3 final pass: what else? South has no idea about the double fit, or
that an fit exists at all.

With kind regards
Marlowe

If my opponents bid slam with these cards in this auction, I would ask for an investigation. Next board.
