Harry the H-Pawn in the London

Here are two fun games from the Australian Junior Chess Championships, where Harry the H-Pawn gets involved in some thematic London System attacks. 

Two rounds later...
And you thought the London System was just a quiet way to reach a playable middlegame! 
Here is a better system for Black:
As you may notice, our bishop goes to b7 to block the kingside attack with ...Ne4. Then we can kick away the strong e5-knight (which caused so many problems in the above two games) with ...f6.
Thank you for your attention!
