1What is the error ? Open terminal and run `sudo apt-get install chessx` add any errors to the question, FYI it installed fine in terminal, for me, on 14.04 and it runs too – Mark Kirby Aug 04 '15 at 10:40

Try running `sudo apt-get -f install && apt-get update`, then try `sudo apt-get install chessx`, did it work ? – Mark Kirby Aug 04 '15 at 11:11

The problem here, based on your terminal output is:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages
To fix this, open terminal and run
sudo apt-get -f install && apt-get update
Then try the install again
sudo apt-get install chessx

First make sure that Universe Repositories are enabled.
Once that is done, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chessx
