    What 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 sudo apt-get install Xboard. – Sergey Shitov Aug 04 '15 at 10:41
  • The following packages have unmet dependencies: chessx : Depends: libqt4-core but it is not going to be installed Depends: libqt4-gui but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages – Madhusudhanan Aug 04 '15 at 10:42
  • 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
  • You already did it, the big green tick next to the answer – Mark Kirby Aug 04 '15 at 11:49

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
