I also checked with another program before sacrificing the rook.
It did not see the mate but it saw a decisive score for black.

The worst thing that I can imagine if yace is wrong is that I do a mate in more
moves because I also can see clearly the win for black and the only thing that I
cannot see without computer help is the distance to mate.
