Tic Tac Toe winning condition if statement problem

marcin388 (4)
So I'm trying to create a winning condition for tic tac toe game in an if statement. For now I'm just trying to make it so that if there are 3 crosses in a line then player 2 wins. But for some odd reason what happens is that after 2 turns no matter where X and O are placed, player 2 wins and program exits.

void win()
{
        if (gameBoard[0][0] == 'X' && gameBoard[0][1] == 'X' && gameBoard[0][2] == 'X')
        {
            cout<<"player X won"<<endl;
			
        }
		else
		{
			game();
		}
}


There is no way that all 3 variables from the array have an X value after 2 turns because before the X is assigned to them they've got a value of 1, 2 and 3.
The else statement calls the game function which allows users to place circles and crosses in turns.
