Game of Nim project. It won't display matches.

[HadesFalcon]

Hello everyone,

I am having one issue with my project. We are making a game of Nim code.I'm 99% done with it, i worked hard on it and i feel like i did a good job, however my project is not displaying the matches i want. For example, it display's the inital number of them 23. But once the first player subtracts a number, it doesn't display matches for player 2, just the number of matches remaining. Then as i keep running the program the same thing happens. This is what it's supposed to ouput

Input/Output sample
WELCOME TO NIM 
------- -- --- 
Enter the starting player's name (no spaces)-->John 
Enter the second player's name (no spaces)-->Mary 
There are 23 matches. 
ooooooooooooooooooooooo 
||||||||||||||||||||||| 
Player John please enter the number of matches to remove-->2 
There are 21 matches. 
ooooooooooooooooooooo 
||||||||||||||||||||| 
Player Mary please enter the number of matches to remove-->3 
There are 18 matches. 
oooooooooooooooooo 
|||||||||||||||||| 
Player John please enter the number of matches to remove-->1 

This is my entire code.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	// Holds variables.

	string player1;
	string player2;
	int topMatch = 23;
	int bottomMatch = 23;
	const int total = 23;
	int n, mtotal;
	bool winner = false;

	mtotal = total;

	// Display's Welcome Message to user.

	cout<<"WELCOME TO NIM"<<endl;
	cout<<"------- -- ---"<<endl;

	// Skips a line.

	cout<<endl;

	// Asks player 1 to enter their name.

	cout<<"Enter the starting player's name (no spaces) -->";
	cin>>player1;

	// Skips a line.

topMatch=23, bottomMatch=23;
