}else if(row>4){
for(col){
if(col%2==0){

First of all, please use code blocks to format your code. Those are the greater-than less-than symbols under Format:

You are missing a curly brace after the if( col % 2 == 0 ) statement; also, you have a semicolon at the end of that same line.

Please put your code in code tags.

if(col%2==0);

If statements do not have a semi-colon here.

void Initialise(){
	for(int row=0; row<3; row++)
	{
		if(int row=0<3)
			//player 1 pieces
			string player = "Player 1";
		for(int col=0; col<8; col++)
		{
			//every other one
			if(col%2==0)
			//piece	(owner = player1)
		}else{
			//empty
		}
	}else(rows>2&&row<5){
	for(col){
		all empty
	}
}else if(row>4){
	for(col){
		if(col%2==0){
			//piece (owner.p2)
		}else{
			empty
		}
}
}

i get rid of the semi colon and the error still remains

You have commented out the statement after the if for some reason.

if(col%2==0)
//piece	(owner = player1) 

Also, why do you have empty else statements? Nor do your else statements follow the if statement (which they must do).
