Two Hatch Lings

This strategy can cripple (if not defeat) most opponent in the early stages of the game.  Scout them out, get ready, and drop them.

Extractor Trick:

Train drones until your control is 9/9.  When the 9th drone is ready, build an extractor.  Since your control is 8/9 - train a drone, and cancel the extractor.  Put the drone that was building the extractor on minerals. Your control is now 10/9.

  -10 hatchery (built near original hatchery)
  -Wait until you have 100 minerals, redo the extractor trick
  -When drone is ready, build a spawning pool near the 2 hatcheries
  -Train an overlord
  -When pool is done, 1 builds evolution chamber, 1 builds hydra den

What you can do now is get the 100 gas required for the zergling speed upgrade (at the spawning pool), or you can begin massing zerglings.  Early on, this can do great damage, and if you don't kill them, it sets you up for a tech tree jump.

Good Luck
