South with a very strong diamond suit should bid 1 Diamond.  1 Spade
is possible but bidding diamonds gives North the chance to respond.
The hand is not quite strong enough to open with a 2-bid and a no
trump bid doesn't do this hand justice.

South could show his strength in spades here but emphasizes his
strength in diamonds by bidding 3 diamonds

Had North played for a slam here South could have responded.  The
Blackwood Convention could have been used.  Instead North plays for
a game with diamonds.  Too bad because a grand slam was at hand.
With North's game bid South is forced to pass.
