Hi AbramZOA, 19 moves is good, yes. GMs can be very strong and sometimes it looks impossible to win against them. In blitz tourneys I have won against NMs, FMs, and sometimes IMs but GMs were always way too strong. Except in Lichess Marathon events I had a chance and won and drew a GM.

Here's the win against a GM :

Here's the draw against the same GM. Later I saw the computer analysis which showed I was clearly winning but during the game I got too nervous and decided to go for a draw by repeating moves. Why did I draw and win ? Because in Lichess Marathons the stronger player usually goes for beserk mode. Which is very often fine for them but sometimes it is like a boomerang when they get a difficult position and too little time left.
