This story happened at the Spain vs USA on the 13th Chess Olympiad, Munich 1958. On third board were playing Toran and Bisguier. When the American master resigned, Toran said with a smile, "I am so happy, it is the best present for my birthday!" The opponent replied, "It's all right, today happens to be my birthday too"
GM Svetozar Gligoric in an interview:"...I also experienced an interesting case of concentration. It happened while I was playing in England. I got up from my board and noticed my wife. I realized that her face was familiar and I said 'Good afternoon!'. She ran away..."
