Generally, the queen does indeed go to g3, to put pressure on g7 and support e4-e5; but here, since Black has regrouped with 11...Re8 and 13...Bf8, the queen has surprising possibilities on the f-file, even if the prospects don't appear very promising at the moment. The pawn-breaks e4-e5 and f4-f5 now start to come into consideration.
14.Qg3 Nb4 and the c2-pawn becomes a target.
14.f5 White reveals her intention soon. 14...Nf6 and then 15...Ne5.

"Anand's improvement, threatening to shatter White's kingside. It had to be well calculated because the black pieces could be hanging in many variations," commented Kavalek in 'The Huffington Post'. From this comment we can conclude that it's not enough to have an idea that looks correct, you also have to check that it works tactically.
