Even if Nepo doesn't become the world chess champion, he is an incredibly brilliant player -- just watch his banter blitz, for instance.

No one in the world needs to calculate 25 moves ahead in this position

Hello, yes time to time we are trying to calculate 25+ moves. However in this exact position there's no need to calculate that far away. The reason is there is only one thing that Magnus should be careful about which is obviously the perpetual checks. The squares that we need to put our queen to prevent the checks are easily visible. So, probably Magnus just calculated a couple of ways that he can push the pawn. Ah also people often confused with the phrase of "calculating 25 moves" no one is calculating all possible moves in the 25 move span. We are just calculating the threat and counter thread moves. So we can easily calculate 25 moves just thinking about the most simple moves. Hikaru shows examples of it in his streams. However, when we have time to think, every gm tries to check for more non-visible threats. Also most of us(almost all of us) do not bother to calculate too complicated lines because you never know the opposite player will choose that line. We often think like, I calculate those lines only when I have to.
