Here's one. Requires speed though.
When starting, select all your peons (Probes, Drones or SCVs), let them mine a mineral, and in the time that they're moving towards the mineral patch, build a new peon. Now select two of the other peons, move them to another mineral patch, and split them all up to 4 different patches. With a little practice, you can do all this before the 4 peons reach that first mineral patch.
On smaller maps, when playing Zerg (eg Bloodbath), set all your Drones on minerals, and don't build a new Drone. Instead, when you have 200 minerals, build a Spawning pool. When you have the money again, build a new drone. Then start saving for 6 Zerglings. Start scouting with the Overlord right away. You'll surprise many a foe with this.
Also, there's this fun map, Crystallis, which has a lot of minerals, and a few Vespene Geysers hidden in the mineral field. Find the shortest route to such a Geyser. Use all your peons to start digging it out. Some people tend to forget that, and just build a Barracks and fly it over. By the time it's on the other side, the opponent usually has some Marines, which will kill the Barracks. It's all about the gas here.
As for UMS games, I usually play Defense F or Golem Revelation.
For Golem Revelation: Choose Zerglings, and bury some in the middle. Then look what the opponents have. If one chooses Ghosts, bury some Zerglings in the line from the middle of the map to theire base. This way, when he attacks the middle, you do the same, and the lings all unburrow, and lose no time with running towards their goal. This way, I managed to get 200 kills in a short while.
Wait till you have 6 civilians before getting a special golem. Then position 2 in front of the first beacon, 2 in front of the second, one on the third, and one on the fourth.
Now, select the first 4, and move them towards the top side of the screen, clicking in the line that goes inbetween of the beacons. This way, you make the 4 civilians move at the same time, and creating 5 golems, instead of 2. The computer thinks you have several Golem combos. This way, you get a Marine, a Ghost, a Reaver, a Dragoon and a Dark Archon.
There's also the opposite: 1-1-2-2. This will get you a Wraith, a Scout, a Battlecruiser, a Queen and a Defiler.
Lastly: When you get the chance for one of the many "Very" special Golems, choose a Bomber Golem (Dropship) first. It's invincible, so a perfect spot to hide your Dark Archons/Marines/Etc.
