What evidence that it is weaker than Crafty?

In the following rating list Elchinito has more points than Crafty and the only
thing that I know is that the difference between Elchinito and Crafty is very
small.

I also agree that many clones are weaker than the original program so nothing
strange about it but unfortunately I do not see evidence that Elchinito is
weaker than Crafty.
