6S

With a short-suit total of 1, your side will need 20 working HCP to
make 6S. You can contribute 11, so slam should be near cold opposite
8-9 working HCP from partner. E.g., Jxxxxx, --, Axxx, Kxx. Given
partner's choice to emphasize his heart void as his slam try, I expect
him to have controls in both minors and not to be loaded in one or the
other. I.e., with JTxxxx, -- AKxx, xxx he should bid 5D and not 5H.
