These so called 'advanced' crosswords are generally in the barred-grid format as opposed to the standard blocked grid.
With extra checking letters this allows the setter greater scope for including more unusual or obscure words. The setters however see themselves as having a responsibility to offer a level of precision to their clues which generally exceeds those in the blocked-grid crossword.
As a general rule the more obscure the word the more straightforward the clue.
