#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main(){
    // 2 players roll dice to start (highest start):
    // roles:
    cout << "PLAYER 1 (X) and PLAYER 2 (O)" << endl;
    // making the grid line per line
    // first line:
    cout << "     " << "|" << "     " << "|" << "     " << endl;
    // second line:
    cout << "  1  " << "|" << "  2  " << "|" << "  3  " << endl;
    // third line (starting the second row of grid):
    cout << "_____" << "|" << "_____" << "|" << "_____" << endl;
    // The same with other numbers:
    cout << "     " << "|" << "     " << "|" << "     " << endl;
    cout << "  4  " << "|" << "  5  " << "|" << "  6  " << endl;
    cout << "_____" << "|" << "_____" << "|" << "_____" << endl;
    cout << "     " << "|" << "     " << "|" << "     " << endl;
    cout << "  7  " << "|" << "  8  " << "|" << "  9  " << endl;
    cout << "     " << "|" << "     " << "|" << "     " << endl;

    // coordinates and move (X or O):
    int x;
    string y;

    // asking the players to make a move
    cin >> "Place?" >> x >> "and";
}

at ```c++
cin >> "Place?" >> x >> "and";
