first code, a simple game of tic-tack-toe

[Gingerbreadman]

First here is the code that I have built

 include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
 
char square[10] = {'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'};
 
int checkwin();
void board();
 
int main () {
{
    int player = 1,i,choice;
    char mark;
    do
    {
        board();
        player=(player%2)?1:2;
        cout << player << ", enter a number : ";
        cin >> choice;
 
        mark=(player == 1) ? 'x' : '0';
 
        if (choice == 1 && square [1] =='1')
            square[1] = mark;
            else if(choice == 2 &&square [2] == '2')
            square[2] = mark;
            else if (choice == 3 &&square[3] == '3')
                square[3]= mark;
                else if (choice == 4 &&square [4] == '4')
                    square [4] = mark;
                else if (choice == 5 &&square [5] == '5')
                    square [5] = mark;
                    else if (choice == 6 &&square [6] == '6')
                        square [6] = mark;
                    else if (choice == 7 &&square [7] == '7')
                        square [7] = mark;
                    else if (choice == 8 &&square [8] == '8')
                    square [8] = mark;
                    else if (choice == 9 &&square [9] == '9')
                        square [9] = mark;
                    else
                    {
 
 
                    cout << "Invaild move ";
 
                    player--;
                    cin.ignore();
                    cin.get();
                    }
                        i=checkwin();
 
                        player++;
                    }while(i==1);
                    board();
                    if(i==1);
                      cout << "==>\aPlayer "<<--player" win ";
                    else;
                        cout <<"==>\aGame draw";
                        cin.ignore();
                    cin.get();

I have an error somewhere in the " cout << "==. \a player" <<--player" win"; line and its saying error expecting ; before string constant and im lost any and all help will be very much apricated
