A quadratic fit doesn't make much sense to me. You can try to fit it to
something like

  y = A+B*exp(C*x)

Of course the value of A is the interesting number here. If they are using
anything like the common UCT exploration/exploitation formula, I think we
will see a roof fairly soon. In my own experiments at long time controls,
the program would spend entirely too much time exploiting the main line and
will have a very hard time finding anything new.
