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?
I was a decent level player when younger (not IGM level) and the first 20 or so moves in a game are already broadly known when you know your openings or defences well enough. The middle and end game is when you need to think of multiple combos 10 moves ahead for some for sure
