The problem with this code below is that apart from the print statement the check_win() function is not returning anything I could fix this by ditching all the logic in the while loop and not using functions but I want this code to be crystal clear, any suggestions?

board = {
    'a1': '', 'a2': '', 'a3': '',
    'b1': '', 'b2': '', 'b3': '',
    'c1': '', 'c2': '', 'c3': ''
}

player_one = True

player_one_choice = input("Play player one: ")
if player_one_choice in board:
    board[player_one_choice] = 'x'
    player_one = False

elif player_one_choice not in board:
    print("Wrong input")
print(board)

checkwin = False


def check_win():
    """
    'x' check win logic
    """
    # Vertical check logic
    if 'x' in board['a1'] and 'x' in board['a2'] and 'x' in board['a3']:
        print("congrats x won")
        checkwin == True
    elif 'x' in board['b1'] and 'x' in board['b2'] and 'x' in board['b3']:
        print("congrats x won")
        checkwin == True
    elif 'x' in board['c1'] and 'x' in board['c2'] and 'x' in board['c3']:
        print("congrats x won")
        checkwin == True

    # Horizontal check logic
    elif 'x' in board['a1'] and 'x' in board['b1'] and 'x' in board['c1']:
        print("congrats x won")
        checkwin == True

        print("congrats x won")
        checkwin == True

    # Diagonal check logic
    elif 'x' in board['a1'] and 'x' in board['b2'] and 'x' in board['c3']:
        print("congrats x won")
        checkwin == True

    return check_win


while True:
    check_win()

    player_two_choice = input("PLay player two: ")

    if player_two_choice != 'x' and player_one_choice in board:
        board[player_two_choice] = 'o'
