Out of curiosity. What is your purpose of this analysis?

Well, these figures show what the absolute best human players can achieve in terms of objective top 3 matchup rates with engines.

Of course the flip-side of this is that the data can help determine engine users on sites like this.
The data is remarkably consistent.

I have also analysed Fischer-Spassky 1972 World Championships with:
Fischer
Top 1 Match: 385/658 (58,5% )
Top 2 Match: 509/658 (77,4% )
Top 3 Match: 563/658 (85,6% )
Spassky
Top 1 Match: 368/657 (56,0% )
Top 2 Match: 461/657 (70,2% )
Top 3 Match: 525/657 (79,9% )
and Capablanca-Alekhine 1927 World Championships:
Alekhine
Top 1 Match: 467/852 (54,8% )
Top 2 Match: 622/852 (73,0% )
Top 3 Match: 685/852 (80,4% )
Capablanca
Top 1 Match: 470/853 (55,1% )
Top 2 Match: 632/853 (74,1% )
Top 3 Match: 703/853 (82,4% )
and now pre-computer era long time control 1972-'75 World CC Championships:
1st Place Result:
Estrin (9 games)
Top 1 Match: 153/256 (59,8% )
Top 2 Match: 191/256 (74,6% )
Top 3 Match: 209/256 (81,6% )
2nd Place Result:
Boey (13 games)
Top 1 Match: 268/449 (59,7% )
Top 2 Match: 342/449 (76,2% )
Top 3 Match: 376/449 (83,7% )
3rd Place Result:
Zagorovsky V (10 games)
Top 1 Match: 153/252 (60,7% )

I see, that is interesting. Although, I would expect a cc player to have a much higher match rate because of the database and book use.

All the moves analysed are non-database moves.

I see, I wasn't paying close enough attention to your first posts

But what can be done when the owners of RHP refuse to ban someone even though their match-up with Fritz is consistently higher than the best over-the-board and correspondence players of all time?
