May be the context helps you decide:
"He had little foibles about the kind of game he liked-his weakness for the two Bishops was notorious -and he could be tremendously stubborn. Janowski could follow the wrong path with more determination than any man l met! He was so something‘ of a dandy and quite vain about his appearance.”
