What are these pieces called?

Hi, friend. I want you to know that when your teddy bear is thrown in a river sometime tomorrow afternoon it was me. Say your goodbyes now, and know that it was personal.

Chill, guys! I know it's wierd not to know that but I had to ask that question as well one day.
I know those chess pieces as "pawns" (not prawns) but some people call them "soldiers".

They are the ones chess.com uses for the puzzles when they are smaller or if you download a position as an image. They can't be used as playing pieces.

aw, that's disappointing. I love the style, wish I could play with them.
at least i'll have this thread to refer to if i ever forget what checkers is
I keep seeing them under "chesscom" URLs with these pieces, so I have to assume they're on this website, yet I can't ever seem to find them. I'm in love with them, yet every moment of my life is filled with dread because I don't know what these pieces are called.
