Just played my 20,000th game...

On 29. Nxe5 I believe you could play dxe5, because the bishop guards the rook. The full sequence Nxe5 dxe5 Qxd8 Bxd8 Rxd8+ Kh7 Bxe5 leaves you with a queen and a knight for a rook, a bishop, and two pawns. While looking at that, I also notice a rather silly line 29. Bxe5 dxe5 Qxd8 Bxd8 Rxd8+ Kf7?? Nxe5 and black is losing badly.

Disclaimer: didn't check either line with an engine, so I may have missed something.
