monty halls door problem please

I have tried asking chatgpt, i have tried searching animations, I just dont get it!

Edit: I finally get it. If you choose a wrong door, then the other wrong door gets opened and if you switch you win, that can happen twice, so 2/3 of the time.

I don’t know if this is what you are talking about but the old game show from the 70’s would have a part in it where you had to choose between three curtains, each equally likely to have the big prize behind it and the other two would have a crap prize behind it. Since equally likely the one you pick would have a 1/3 chance of having the big prize while the other two would have a 2/3 chance of having the big prize behind them. But Monty knows which has the big prize and which have crap and so he shows you what is behind the one of the two that has crap behind it. So now you are given the choice, stick with your first pick which has a 1/3 chance of having the big prize or switching to the remaining curtain which has a 2/3 chance of having the big prize behind it. You switch because you are twice as likely to win
