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 think 10 moves ahead or more if the line is ‘forcing’. A forcing move is a move which has very few reasonable responses. Like checking the king or capturing a piece. Players will search for forcing lines (sequences of forcing moves). If the line results in some improvement in their position, they will likely go for it, even if they suspect it might not be the best move.
