Recap: I scout the late expansion and early roach warren, so I know it's some kind of rush with a prime number of roaches. These are pretty vicious against my normal build order, but if I know it's coming I put down a forge and get an early sentry.
I split his roaches on my ramp and they die to my cannon. I use the next round of warp-ins to put pressure on while I expand-- I'm intending to use my economic advantage and just go into normal robo play, but he doesn't even have enough left to hold against my initial pressure.
Lessons: Well, my plan for roach rushes seems to work okay. Putting quick pressure on right after is against my usual instincts, but I think it's important. This guy rightly gave up on the rush right away and pumped drones, and if I hadn't punished him for it right away he might have made a decent recovery.
