Matchpoints.

Pard opens 1H, you bid 1N, pard bids 2D.

Now what?

Is this close?

I think it might matter whether 1N is forcing. If 1NT was not forcing, this is a super max and would probably qualify for a 2S bid. If 1NT was forcing, I still have a good hand, but not a super max; I would bid 3D. None of this should preclude playing in hearts since opener will often bid 3H next with a 64 hand.

3D, not good enough for 2S imo.

I have a very slight preference for 2♠ showing a good minor suit raise, but certainly won't quarrel with 3♦

I'm happy to bid 3♦.
Partner will probably pass, and then we're in an OK spot.
When he bids 3NT, he has good chances to make it.
The ♠10 might even be helpfull.

2♠ for me.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I'd bid 2S with 10xx Qx K10xxx Axx but not with this hand.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
