Yasser is the twenty-seventh Cuban chess player to have been awarded the Grandmaster title, achieving this feat in 2015 at the Marcel Sisniega Memorial in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

He tied for eighth at the 2019 World Open and placed clear second at the 2019 Cuban Championship. Yasser’s older brother, Yuniesky, is also a Grandmaster.
