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

Yes, the package was broken, But using your method, i got it @mark kirby Aug 4, 2015 at 11:35
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
