The range and strength of the vortex-substrate interaction are taken to be of the same order as that of the vortex-vortex interaction. The matching effect in a driven vortex lattice in the presence of a periodic array of pinning centers refers to the enhanced resistance to the vortex lattice motion when the ratio of the number of vortices to the number of pinning centers (called the filling fraction) takes simple fractional values. In particular, one expects a pronounced matching effect when the filling fraction is one. Contrary to this expectation, a drop in the vortex lattice mobility is observed as the filling fraction is increased from value one. This anti-matching effect can be understood in terms of the structural change in the vortex lattice as the filling fraction is varied. The dip observed in vortex mobility as a function of temperature when the filling fraction equals one (Joseph T 2020<i>Physica</i>A<b>556</b>124737), is studied for other values of filling above and below one.
