This was a caro kann game i annotated with my thoughts during the game. Opinions are welcome particularly on blacks move 14. Black ultimately won mainly due to white mistakes. The only real error by black i believe was on move 17 allowing white back into the game. This should be benificial to begginers and comments from players would be appreciated
Detailed Caro Kann Advance game- comments welcomed

Thank you very much for the detailed explainations!
On move 5, I think a3?! is an inaccuracy. If black does pin, then white can easily try and trade bishops, which will not favor black because he'll be losing the good bishop. The bishop can support a c5 break from its home square. You played quite nicely, thanks for sharing your game.
After Black plays E6 I like to play G4 variation followed by NE2.This variation leads to very complicated chess!!!
I like your move comments
My french derives from scandinavian declined ( 3.e5 Bf5) . If this bishop is then attacked i retreated to g6 and ...xg6. My oponents don´t capitalize on the open h file as they usually worried with their castling in the closed side of the board
I like to attack white´s center pawns (on the dark squares)with combinations of queen+bishop+knight. This delays my castling and leads to a more open game!
in my french defense I advance a6 and b5 to prevent the exchange 8. Bxd7+
what about the sharp 11.g4 ... ????

3 ... c5 is an interesting response to the advance variation, the natural move Nf3 is met with Bg4 and the pressure on the d pawn will prove tremendous if he does not take on d5
Edit: Better might be 9... Nxe3 10. Fxe3 Qb6 on the main line, when b3 is weakening for white and moving whites queen makes the Knight immobile because of the pin by the bishop
