I saw last night that Wikipedia's entry for [orthodox] chess terms distinguishes a major from a minor piece in chess in that a major piece+K can force mate vs. lone K (both a R and Q can do so in under 50 moves in the case of chess, I'd add) - a definition I was aware of already for majors/minors in chess.
