You are in 4♥ and get the lead of a club. How do you take all your chances for overtricks?

Not my strong point.
But at the table I would probably cash spades Ace, ruff a spade high and ruff the remaining club with 8.
Then diamonds to Q and finesse against trumps K.

If trumps are 3-0, you can't pick up the king.

I'm happy with pescetom's answer as a beginner-level answer.

Johnu points out this is actually an intermediate-level (possibly even advanced-level) problem.
