Why do you call a not yet played match "evidence"? And why is the "man-machine" challenges "evidence"? Has any computer but DB succeded in beating any of the top ten grandmasters at standard time controls in a six game serious match? I think not. That top commercial micro programs fare well against GMs at fast time controls is nothing really new, and DB is even more superior in that domain, as faster hardware is worth more at fast time controls (due to "diminishing returns").
