I understand that, and I probably would have done it myself but on
second thought wouldn't you bid 4S also with: AKQx Qxxx x Axxx and
immagine now partner holding: xxxxx --- Kxxx KQxx. Now, how are we
going to bid this slam after the same obvious 4S raise? The RKCB
convention won't help responder regarding the location of opener's
aces. Here you don't have a wasted ace in hearts.
