Asunto: Gothic Inventor

glad to see you back, GI. I don't always agree with what you say, but I respect your accomplishments in chess and as a player. And furthering that, let me post something about gothic chess itself, which is what the board is intended:

I won the following game from Walter Montego with a rook sacrifice. The problem is, i'm not sure if it was sound. After the game, I ran it through the Vortex at GM level and it didn't even consider the sac on the "shown thinking" window. I forget the actual move it suggested, but that's irrelevant, because I only used the vortex for post mortem analysis. Instead, it said the position was drawish, which is actually what I had thought at the time too, but Walter rejected my offer! So my question to everyone is: is the rook sac sound or is there a better plan? I'm interested in any thoughts you have.
