Is there much play in the chain?

No mate

Looking again at the photos, it's sheared off with a tooth. Maybe a hard knot or foreign object?
Can't say for sure though.
Let us know if it happens again.

Have you got photos of the chain where it broke?

Not really but as I service saws for a hopefully money making logging company I like to keep chains sharper than new from the box So the chain does the graft you don't have to lay on it ,Less stress as it cuts rather than bludgeons it's way through the timber Usually tell the chains health by the size & number of chips thrown
