On the second board, my "New Frontiers for Strong Forcing Openings" would work wonders:
2♦(4+ spades, strong)-3♥(weak balanced hand with four spades)
4♣(do you have the club King?)-4♦(no, but I have the diamond King)
5♦(do you have the diamond Queen?)-5♥(nope)
6♠(Oh well...)
The third board benefits from the same style, at least as to the start:
2♣ (strong with generally 0-3 spades)-2♦(GF, waiting)
2♠(four hearts, longer minor)-2NT(no heart fit, but what is the minor?)
3♣(clubs, with 0-2 spades)-3♦(punt)
3♥(0-1 spades)-3♠(cue for clubs)
???
I would still miss this, though, unless North takes a position.
