Your initial bases should start havesting minerals and place a few Sunken and Spore colonies right away, and also start buildings some Hydralisks. Move them through the Nydus Canals to each of the beacons to guard them.

The first beacon is at the northeastern edge of the map. The second is at the northwestern, and the third near the south center, but a little bit to the east as well. Secure each of these places with Hydralisks and at least one Overlord. Now you can start building your bases up and getting a good force of Hydralisks in your western base. Move them east and kill off the Protoss establishment there.

Your next target should be the Protoss base to the east center of the map. Get a whole bunch of Hydralisks and send them there, with Zerglings support. After you've done that, you can focus on attacking the two Protoss main bases, which are on the northern and southern sides of the western edge of the map.

Get a load of Zerglings with at least 2 groups of Hydralisks and swarm them all into the southern Protoss base at the same time. Do this for the other one too, except also have Mutalisks, as they can take care of any air units and help with the ground.

After that just kill off any left over Protoss units, who, by now, aren't much of a threat any more. But remember that during all this, you must remember to prevent even one Dark Templar from slipping past your units onto the beacons.
