@ H.G.:

Good job on the fortress position with the Amazon.

Regarding terminology, I have seen, for orthodox chess, 'heavy' and 'light' used interchangeably with 'major' and 'minor'. So, perhaps my initial suggestion of using 'strong' and 'weak' (i.e. instead of 'heavy' and 'light') in the case of strong minor pieces, and weak major pieces, would create less confusion for chess players who are transferring over to the world of chess variants.
