My kibitz is that this is not a real game. I mean that the human 
player didn't play to his/her strength, like the guy played his 
would-be father-in-law, just try to please the program and puzzle
us.

The reason is that it seems like both players know quite a lot of
the game, yet still many bad moves in the game. If the human player
know that much about go, he/she must be a much better player.
 
Here goes my guess:

1  both are played by computers. 
2  W is the human who was just trying  to make a puzzle. For w seems
    always waiting for black to catch up.
3  B is human if this is a genuine game that both parties played to their
   strength. A human player could hardly play 130 after 128 in a genuine
   game.

If only one choice, I tick 2. It's a made up puzzle.

When will we know the answer?
