$ aptitude why xboard
i   gnome       Depends  gnome-games (>= 1:2.30)
i A gnome-games Depends  gnuchess | hoichess | bbchess | crafty | fruit
i A gnuchess    Suggests xboard | eboard
$ aptitude why gnuchess
i   gnome       Depends gnome-games (>= 1:2.30)
i A gnome-games Depends gnuchess | hoichess | bbchess | crafty | fruit

If you want to remove both xboard and gnuchess from your system, you'd have
to purge gnome-games as well, and get rid of the gnome meta-package while
you're at it.

Kind regards,
