He can avoid the perpetual by playing 36 Kh1 Qg3 37 Qe2 Qxh3+ 38 Qh2 Qf3+ 39 Qg2 in the 29...e5 line by computer, when black should exchange queens and the ending is winning for black, with 5 connected pawns against rook, a-pawn will be lost anyway.
@jupp53 I did see Qxc3 but I thought it was still good for me.
Indeed, whoever avoids the perpetual loses the game.
As 29...Kg8 loses on the spot, black should have played 29...e5 in any case, also when he could not evaluate all consequences.
The exchange sacrifice 13...Rxc3 is much stronger if white has castled Queen's side 9 o-o-o. Here after 9 o-o it is just loss of material.

Any comments on my second game?
Which game? Where?
There is two games in the link he posted.
Aha I see. On this second game:
4...Bd6 is no more weird than 4 Qe2. Black defends pawn e5, prepares castling o-o. There are plenty of other moves, but as usual it is hard to tell what is better or worse.
5...a6 and 6...b5 is weird: it drives the bishop to a better square. Just 5...o-o or 6...o-o is logical and the point of 4...Bd6.
8...Na5 is weird: the point of 5...a6 and 6...b5 would be 8...Bb7. Probably he has realised he has driven the Bishop to a good square.
11...Te8 is wrong. He could have taken 11...cxd4 to avoid trouble.
12 dxc5 would have won a net pawn because of the fork 13 b4
16...g6 is a mistake. He wants to avoid 17 Nf5, but the cure is worse than the illness. He can retreat 17...Bf8. With 16...g6 he weakens the squares around his king.

4... Bd6 is well known in the line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3,Nc3 Nc6 4.Bb5 Bd6. The idea is keeping e5 protected in case of Bxc6 and playing 0-0, Re8, Bf8 which leads to some classical spanish lines.
11...Dc7

12... Re8
Didn't check this. But now 13. dxe5 looks interesting. My line is 13.... Bxe5 14. Nxe5 Qxe5 15. f4 Q~ 16. e5 The wsB is more active, the Pawn d7 is a problem and h7 is weak. This is only an off-board line. But I dislike the missing connection between rooks. This gives black couterchances.
13- Sbd2 Look at the patterns after 13. a4. The Nb1 has a3 and the weakness of the black queenside pawns.
16... g6 Isn't it over after 17.Bxf6 Kxf6 18.Qe3 Kg7 19.Sf5+ ? At least this is another typical pattern to study.
