I think it would be good to mention that when East holds Axx in clubs, the defense can foil this and hold you to 4.by winning the 2nd round of clubs. (easy to do since partner will give count and ducking once should be more or less obvious.). But even here, this locks in 10 tricks. This is a really nice, instructive intermediate level hand.

Thanks! Could you use the second trick to draw the Ac?

It opens the door to a club ruff. If the spades are 3-2 or 4-1 the other way you are better off drawing trumps first. It can’t ever help to start with clubs as long as you are able to adjust as I described in the video.

There’s the risk that east wins the Ace club and gives W a ruff

You have no way around that. Them only taking the one trump trick is the best you can do if the other guy has the ace of clubs and at least 3 of them.
