Is it normal that he gets this pissed when...

Hello is it normal family. Is it normal that my fiancé gets extremely frustrated when we play chess? I know, sounds like a troll, but unfortunately it's not. We just started playing chess together the other day; first game was a stalemate, second game I won, he was frustrated, but the normal amount of competitive frustration.

We played chess tonight, like, just 5 minutes ago; I won the first game, he got upset, so he set it up for another. We couldn't even finish the second one because he got so frustrated that I saw an opportunity to capture his queen that he overlooked, and said we were done.

I go upstairs to use the restroom, come out hearing my roommate telling him he's projecting just a bit. My fiancé says he said something mean and wanted to apologize.

"He wanted to know why I was so mad so I told him you kept beating me at chess, and he said you have a strategic mind, and I said I wish you applied it to real life scenarios and paid bills on time."

I chuckled, I thought it was funny and spot on. So I joked back, "Well I wish you applied your real life scenario mind to better your chess game."

Now he's talking about sleeping on the couch! He's REALLY hurt by what I said. I tried explaining I was just joking back, I wasn't serious. He said I sounded serious. Why would I be serious about that? Sorry, mostly a rant, but is it normal to get THAT upset? I get it, his pride was hurt a little, but I thought we were all joking! Did I push it too far? Or did he get too salty? Thanks!
