Can someone explain how you defeat a 5-spawn zergling rush with a zealot and a probe?

 so basically:

a non upgraded zlot kills a zergling in 3 hits (btw thats why you want to get attack upgrade ASAP against zerg). If your probe attacks a zergling once, a zlot can kill the zergling in 2 hits

Essentially, you want to attack each zergling once with your probe, while keeping it alive. Usually zerg player will focus fire on zlot or probe, so move the one thats being focus fired on around while the other one attacks. Even if you cant block it completely, if you kill 3-4 zerglings your ok cause by then you'll have more zlots and 2 zerglings shouldn't be able to do much dmg to your economy

 Its Hard but a experienced player can pull it off.. If you can get 2 probes and a zealot, off, first start building up ur second zealot while you micro dance, if you don't more zerglings will come and eat you ';..;' then when you micro dance keep spawning zealots maybe turrets and such to help kill the zerglings, don't count on the turrets for long though and barricade them around your pylon with only thing entrance, Mainly because the zerg will try to destroy that first and it will allow your probe to repair it when the enemy wants to kill the probe with melee it will have to come around and zerglings and hydras are the only ones small enough to actually get in their and kill it in a short time

 Anti rush P v Z
just retreat back to your minarals with your Zlot and pull the probe that is being attacked to a different mineral patch (select all hotkeyed probes, pull probe out using the wireframe, "yello/red ones" ) while the other probes & Zlot attack, continue this until u have enough Zlots for a normal fight.

anti rush TvZ 4-5-6 pool Zergs, if your expecting a rush.

options:
1. do a dual 8 rax build then depot (4-5 pool)
2. do a 9 rax build then depot (5-6 pool)

hotkey 4-5 SCV'S and use them as block to cover your marine(s), if a ramp is available, that would be the best spot to block a ling rush!
