conditional if on array of string versus constant character

Using C++ VS 2015.

How do you compare (if) array of string to a constant character without error.

string GBD[9] = { "wKQkq--000"," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," " };
if (GBD[0][0] = "w")
{ cout << "it is w"; }

Error is: C2440 '=': cannot convert from 'const char [2]' to 'char'

I tried "=="

Error is: C2446 '==': no conversion from 'const char *' to 'int'

Sorry a bit rusty. I thought since a string is an array of characters, so I assumed two dim array is equal to a character of a one dimension array of string.

check like this:

if (GBD[0][0] == 'w')
{ cout << "it is w"; }

if (GBD[0][0] == 'w')

'w' is a character, "w" is a string literal.
