I am unable to end the game when a win is detected in connect four on matlab

1 view (last 30 days)
I have the 2 player game essentially finished, but once a win is detected, the win variable will not set equal to zero, ending the loop. However, MATLAB is still able to print out that a player has won.
% Board and chip images are loaded
load Connect
imshow([Board{1,:};Board{2,:};Board{3,:};Board{4,:};Board{5,:};Board{6,:}]);
row=zeros(1,7); % Counter of chips in row vector is created
connect=[0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] % Matrix of board
win=1;
while win==1
% P1 input
fprintf('Player 1, select a column to place your chip in.\n')
x1 = input('Select a column 1-7:');
Board{6-row(x1),x1}=redchip;% Red chip appears in the board image
connect(6-row(x1),x1)=1; % 1 is placed in board matrix
row(x1)=row(x1)+1; % A chip is added to the row
imshow([Board{1,:};Board{2,:};Board{3,:};Board{4,:};Board{5,:};Board{6,:}]);
