Probably
the only normal convention that will get you to the grand
slam is Two-Way Stayman.
Many
players use Jacoby Transfers, which is a nice convention.
You can't play both Jacoby and 2-way Stayman (unless you give
up the 2
transfer).
Using
two-way Stayman, the 2
bid is game-forcing. Opener bids
2NT without a major and without a five-card minor. Here he
gets
to show his five-card club suit and responder can use Blackwood.
A jump to 4NT over 3
might be interpreted as a quantitative bid,
so responder carefully raises clubs and then bids 4NT.
Opener
shows three aces in traditional Blackwood or, if using
Keycard Blackwood, opener can bid 5
to show 0 or 3. In either
case, responder counts 12 top tricks (two aces and 10 minor-suit
winners) plus one heart ruff for 13.
