While talking about chess, a few classical texts came to my mind.
The two most popular ones on various strategies and tactics of (Chinese) chess playing are 《橘中秘》 and 《梅花譜》. However, the one traditionally suitable for beginner is 《夢入神機》.
The difference between them is drastic: The latter is a collection of scenarios towards the end of a game (殘局), while the former two starts from the beginning and go through the entire game.
You may consider logical to learn from the beginning. Nonetheless, it is the end of the game that has a limited number of pieces on the board and would be more easy to comprehend for a new comer.
As Zhu Jin Zheng (朱晉楨), the author of 《橘中秘》, said:
"全盤子多而難明，殘局子少而易悟，尤可取法，況得其一訣，便可觸類引伸。"
Isn't there much similarity to learning medicine ?
