Answers.Text: I do not have access to Stockfish, that is why I have posted here... It is OK to use engines as I actually want to know if Black wins with the sacrifice. I have upvoted your answer, mainly because I have missed `a3! + Ka2` in my analysis, otherwise I have come to the same conclusions as you have.

Answers.Text: @AlwaysLearningNewStuff You are aware that Stockfish is a free download, and that you can plug it into most chess interfaces (even free ones like Babaschess). Also you can upload games and positions and do online Stockfish anlysis on the web through lichess.org (free)
