Itzhak Aloni. Full credits and details at this post.
A close family member mentioned, from the days of the old Lasker club in Tel Aviv, what must have been a common occurrence among chess players. The club had a small kitchenette / cafe, where members could buy tea and coffee. For the older, constant club members, such as Aloni, the kitchenette's owner would also offer meals - cooked by the cafe owner's wife in their apartment next door.
The kitchenette also had the club's phone. One day the owner comes out of it and asks Aloni: "are you here? Your wife asks." Aloni said that he was not there. The owner goes back to the phone, returns and tells Aloni: "Your wife says that, when you finish not playing the game, come home."
