If you're not interested in this question, it's OK.
I don't understand what you are asking.

I can't tell you exactly where our mind is located, but would suggest if you didn't have one, your rating would be well below 1000 😏
These are cheap shots.

Higher rating does not necessarily mean "smarter". It just means, "better at chess".

If you never study chess theory, you won't get good, no matter how smart you are.

Don’t think it was a cheap shot, you could not think without a mind so there would be nothing but automatic responses to whatever simulates us. There would be no reasoning.

Is there such a thing as "the mind" and if there is where is it?

"The no-mind thesis doesn’t mean that people are ‘merely bodies’. Instead, it means that, when faced with a whole person, we shouldn’t think that they can be divided into a ‘mind’ and a ‘body’, or that their properties can be neatly carved up between the ‘mental’ and the ‘non-mental’.
