Let us put it gently, Lembit. I would enjoy playing backgammon with you for
$100 a point.

which leaves one winning and one non-winning door
and since you do not know which one the winning door is,
you have a 1 out of 2 chance.

The host has simply changed the game from 1 out of 3 to 1 out of two
the new situation is not dependent on your previous choice.

how could your making a choice at the beginning change the situation after
the 
3rd door was removed?
