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?

Not every move is planned that way. There are some general strategies, such as “control this section of the board”.

I once played a game against my brother, and I was thinking three moves ahead. I was mentally exhausted when it was over, and decided that I didn’t really want to play chess any more. If I’m going to play a game, I don’t want to work that hard at it.
