Years ago, I was an active chess player with a rating of 1450. I plan to return to the scene by participating in an official tournament.
My question is, will my previous rating be retained or reset due to my prolonged absence?

1Your rating still applies, though in 1st of march there will be rating reform - rating floor will be raised to 1400 and all U2000 players will get a one-time rating boost of 0,4 * (2000 - rating).– Matija SirkCommented Jan 3 at 6:24

6 years is not that long for FIDE. They still have their rating records for you and when you resume it will be with a standard rating of 1450 and rapid rating of 1442 unless they apply the anti-deflation adjustments they were talking about a few months ago. In that case just over 200 rating points would be added to your ratings.

I took a break for 24 years, with a 1390 score. They actually increased my score, to make up for the non official training time I took when I was away in Japan with one of the more unknown Grandmasters.

524 years ago the FIDE floor was 1800 so either you are talking about some other rating system or your memory is faulty, to put it politely.– Brian Towers ♦Commented Jan 2 at 17:27
