In this video you can see me playing as Zerg against the Insane AI Protoss. The tactic utilized is commonly known as 6-pool, which basically means I have 6 Drones at the time I start constructing a Spawning Pool. One could call this tactic the "ultimate cheese", but nevertheless it does its job, and I walk away victorious. I am not a professional player of any kind and my skills are very casual (as in bad). Here's how 6-pool works in this video:

Start mining with your Drones and keep doing that until you reach 200 minerals. At this exact point build a Spawning Pool. Now build 2 Drones and an Overlord, in this order. By this time the Spawning Pool should be ready, and you start building Zerglings. Rally the Zerglings near the enemy base. Now the rest of the game will only involve micromanaging your Zerglings and building more of them (possibly a few Overlords if you reach the cap). Wait until two pairs reach the enemy base, and proceed attacking. Your primary targets are Pylons (Pylons rise the enemy unit cap and keep their Gateways operational). Attacking Pylons will aggro enemy Probes and at the early stages of the attack it is crucial to run away from them, because they will overpower you if you don't. The Probes will return back to mining every time you retreat, so utilize your faster units (the Zerglings) to your advantage. Whenever the enemy gets a Zealot, try to drag it out of the base and kill it with full force. If the enemy gets two or more Zealots at the same time, things can get more difficult, so it's very important to kill them as soon as possible. With every pair of Zerglings coming out of your base your chances of getting the upper hand are increased. Try to keep your Zerglings alive while constantly dealing damage to something. Once your army is big enough, you can attack their full Probe force, at which point victory will be certain.

Kill order:
1. Zealots or any other Gateway units
2. Pylons
3. Probes
4. Nexus
5. Everything else

Speed, micromanaging skills and the right kill order are the keys to victory here. Good luck.
