Python: How to add pointing system for player and computer. First to have 3 points will win

My problem in my program is that it does not retain the score of the computer and the player. I know that my problem is that the loop will declare it again as 0. Is there any solution for this? I am just learning python at my university so I cannot process it deeply.

     import random
 
print("WELCOME TO THE GUESSING GAME!")
 
name = input("Please enter your name: ")

def main():
    
    first = int(input("Enter a starting number: "))
 
    second = int(input("Enter an ending number: "))
 
    chances = 3
 
    x = random.randint(first, second)
    print("You've only ", 
           chances,
          " chances to guess the secret number.\n")
 
    tries = 0
    player = 0
    computer= 0
 
    while tries < chances:
        tries += 1
 
        guess = int(input("Guess a number: "))
 
        if x > guess:
            print("Sorry " + name + " you guessed too small.")
          
            
        if x < guess:
            print("Sorry " + name + " you guessed too high.")
 
    if x == guess:
            player += 1
            print("The player has" , player, "points")  
            print("Congratulations " + name + " you guessed it")
    
    if computer == 3:
        print("The Computer won. Better luck next time,", name)
        break
    
    if player == 3:
        print("The Player won! Congrats", name)
        break
               
    else:
        computer += 1
        print("The computer has" , computer, "points")
        print("\nThe secret number is", x)
        print("\t\nGAME OVER!")
 
    restart=input("Ready for the next round? Type yes or no:").lower()
    if restart == "yes":
        print("\n\tGood luck" , name)
        main()
    else:
        print("\n\tThank you for playing", name)
        exit()
 
main()
