No.  After Na6?! cxb5 hits the knight and the queen escapes.

I don't think there is a simple winning line.  The tree has too many branches.
But only an exchange has been saced, white's king is very awkward and now with
white's queen also out of play black goes after white's king, not the queen.  In
the Ivanchuck game he also gave up the b8 knight to get even more time for the
attack.

That game continued:
Malaniuk,V (2520) - Ivanchuk,V (2625) [E20]
URS-ch55 Moscow, 1988

13 -- axb5 14.Qxa8 Bd4 15.Nxd4 cxd4 16.Qxb8 0-0 17.Ke1 Qh4+ 18.g3 Qf6 19.Bf4 g5
20.c5 exf4 21.Qd6 Qg7 22.Bd3 Ne5 23.Kd2 f3 24.Qe7 g4 25.Bxb5 Ng6 26.Qg5 h6
27.Qh5 d3 28.Bxd3 Re8 29.h3 Re5 30.hxg4 Rxh5 31.gxh5 Ne5 32.Rae1 Qg5+ 33.Kc2 f2
34.Rd1 Qe3 0-1

but white (and black) had other ways to play it.
