Yasser is one player you will simply not win even 90% against. And if he is rated at 2900, you are not going to get to 3500 if you play him. There are lots of others. 3500 means you beat 3300 players 3 of every 4 games. You'll find that beating yasser 3 of every 4 games is _very_ difficult. As it would be to beat Shirov... or any of several others...
