if you take requests, ZvP vs 11/13gate or something of the like would be hugely appreciated

balancing army/defense/drones is so much more difficult to me vs 2gate than vs FE

In your videos you advocate 9 pool. Can someone please explain why you would 9 pool rather than overpool as a standard opening?

I know you get extra drones with an overpool in exchange for later zerglings, but any more clarification would help a lot.

They can Nexus first vs Overpool. That's pretty much all there is to it.

In game one at python (from your 22nd september update).. as soon as you get your containment, is there anything the protoss can do? It seems like a game ender from there.

Im a P player, but im trying to understand the ZvP aspect aswell as the PvZ aspect to improve my game =]

Also, another question. If you open lurkers zvp, lets say on python, how do you stop protoss from simply running up your ramp during a +1 rush? My lurkers come out in time, but my opponent's zealots just run by the lurkers. I've tried blocking the ramp with lings, but not with much success.

I find I can simplify the game in my mind to "if I live this +1 attack I'm ahead", since the tech advantage you have is vastly superior to his upgrade advantage. Lurkers usually don't come out in time so use Zerglings and Sunken Colonies to survive the inital attack. As Ret said, you have to come as close to dying as possible. That means if you invest too much money in defenses, he can simply not attack and you've squandered your advantage. Walk as close to the cliff as you can without going over.

Have you ever encountered a +1 weapons into sair reav (instead of zeals). If the goon kills the main ov, and you don't see which way they teched, and you see the forge spinning, will you continue assuming +1 rush or will you sacrifice lings to count zeals or something? And if you assume zeal rush and get mutalisks or fast lurk, wouldn't the sair reav rape you?

Thanks for the tutorial videos, the ZvP early gas to spire really opened my play.

Does anybody know where i can find "Rets tutorial" that Chill mentioned in the "ZvT Python" commentary?
