I would declare a variable outside the loop to keep track of whose turn it is, and toggle it back and forth at the top of the loop. Here's a really bare skeleton of the idea:

Code:

int player=2;

while(! gameover)
{
  int value;

  if(player == 1)
  {
    player=2;
  }
  else 
  {
    player=1;
  }

  cout << "Player " << player << "'s turn:" << endl;
  cin >> value;
  board[value]=player;

  check_if_game_over;
}

cout << "Player " << player << " wins!" << endl;

So that would go before

Code:

cout << "Player 1 Your Turn Please Enter Which Cell You Would Like" << endl;
 
cin >> row >> column;
}
 
if(board[row-1][column-1] ==' ')
 
board[row-1][column-1] = 'X'; }

Or instead of?

DAB(6)								 BSD Games Manual							    DAB(6)

NAME

     dab -- Dots and Boxes game

SYNOPSIS

     dab [-aw] [-n ngames] [-p <c|h><c|h>] [xdim [ydim]]

DESCRIPTION

     dab is a game where each player tries to complete the most boxes.	A turn consists of putting one border of a box; the player setting the
     fourth and final border of a box gets the point for the box and has another turn.

     The keys used are the vi keys: k for up, j for down, h for left, and l for right.	To switch between even and odd rows, use one of the fol-
     lowing keys: u (diagonal right up), y (diagonal left up), b (diagonal left down), n (diagonal right down); <space> sets a new border, CTRL-L
     and CTRL-R redraw the screen, and q quits the game.

     Support options are:

     -a 	      Don't use the alternate character set.

     -n ngames	      ngames games will be played.  (Especially useful in -p cc mode.)

     -p <c|h><c|h>    Select which of the two players is a human or a computer.  The first argument is the first player; c stands for computer and
		      h for human.

     -w 	      Wait for a character press between games.

     xdim and ydim define the size of the board in the x and y dimensions.
