Unfortunately, due to the way Apple handles purchases, it is not possible for Chess.com to provide a refund for any purchases made through Apple. However, you can request a refund from Apple directly!

Launch iTunes on either your Mac or Windows PC.
Click 'Account.'
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
