Im not a 100% sure but I would try using { } around the content i would want to print. For example:

if (finished == 'x'){
cout << "You Have Defeated Me, this is impossible!!!! Let us Play Again....\n";
}
else{
cout << "I have defeated you, I always said Machines Would become better than Humans at their own games.
}

From what I understand it would be like putting the content in scope of the if statement.

No problem. I'm also new to programming and know exactly how it feels to get stuck. I actually saw your problem right after I posted mine.

its still not printing out correctly. Spook to soon. NO idea why it is doing that. It does the do while loop and then comes out, but is printing both statements from the if statement, which makes no sense.
