The pychess client died in the middle of a game.
I've attached the end of the log file with the error.

It was a random error,

This happens during a FICS game. In the middle of a game, moving a piece
and releasing it between squares will freeze the game.

I think this was fixed in idle_add branch, but it needs more work before
merging. Anyhow. thx for reporting this!

PyChess has a very not-so-respected history of crashing during FICS games,
so it's not a surprise to any veteran PyChess user.

Hopefully, finishing the idle_add branch and merging it will go a long way
towards solving many or most of the freezes. The python interpreter crashes
are going to be harder to diagnose though as they may not even be pychess
bugs.
