How does a game of chess work between two top level players? Do they have to think like 25 moves ahead to find any sort of opening against the opponent?

They usually play the openings from memory. Eventually, they get to a position that they haven’t memorized and they then have to think. Whether or not they think ten movies ahead depends on how complicated the board is. When the board gets down to just kings, knights, and pawns, they may very well think ten moves ahead.
